Mastodon sees dip in active users after Twitter exodus surge

I wasn’t able to glean this from the article: -which- site?

Is the number cited the unique members across every federated server? Or is it just mastodon.social? Is there a way to determine membership across the fediverse?

Not sure but I recalled having saw a meme (on Twitter, of course) that Mastodon boast the 2nd and 3rd largest federated groups as being infested with child porn.

Hey, it's probably just a meme.

I've no inclination to join Mastodon (due to my prior analysis of its network protocol), much less able to verify that Twitter meme claim.

But I chuckled as I read about an infosec group on federated (but unrelated to #2/#3) Mastodon.

Daily active users:

Twitter: 238M

Mastodon: 1.8M

To think I had to see all those Mastodon hype posts everywhere!
