I have no idea why they are publishing pieces like this, and it’s objectively false. Mastodon had over 60,000 sign-ups in the last week, and my feed is as busy as it ever was. It went from like 4 million when I signed up less than a year ago to over twelve million now.

Active users have gotten over their initial spike and have now levelled out several orders of magnitude larger than it was months ago.
