A lot of people unfortunately. Specially people outside the US, I think mastodon is ready for people to switch, but nobody does, the most they do is switch to bluesky
Unfortunately fedverse isn’t really ready for the general population, it’s why so many people flocked to bluesky over mastodon. I know I prefer blueskys UI and features over what Mastodon has to offer.
Though Tumblr is planning to enter the fedverse so maybe that’ll help somehow.
Yeah idk, maybe I’m not that much of a micro blogger, i was never a twitter/tumblr user, so mastodon is kind of new to me, so I don’t miss any features. As far as UI, I believe most mastodon instances look pretty good, just not a twitter carbon copy like Bluesky, but that’s a matter of taste.
I believe the biggest problem is “clout” or following, with likes and boosts and stuff like that not being properly federated most of the time, people simply can not “grow”
Unfortunately, a lot of official government services and representatives are still using it. I saw someone reference a Twitter post about that Canadian plane crash, for instance.
Lots of people still use it, obviously musk fans, people who actually make a living off of content creation it’s hard to move a entire fandom to a new platform. People who aren’t from the US probably don’t care about the whole mess and stick around because everyone they know is still on the platform.
I am outside of the US, and I do care. Biggest army and economy and so on. Even if not, I would not want to be associated with, idk, Australian wannabe tyrants either.
I would really like to know who is using ‘X’ now ? I mean apart from Musk and his bot army
Dude most European heads of state and institutions have Xitter accounts and just kept on using them… It’s a disgrace…

Racists and other easily influenced weak-minded individuals.

A bunch of undecided voter types that pay zero attention to anything that isn’t their hobbies.
No one outside the USA cares about the politics of who owns what social network
Crazy I know

What? I’m talking about ownership of a private company, not a country
