They don’t. This story is a nothing burger. Mastodon user count has actually gown down by ~400,000.
The author attempts to justify their opinion with the logical fallacy: correlation equals causation. But they only consider the times when the correlation is in their benefit. When user count goes down, the author ignores it.
For perspective, Threads user count also went down: to 13 million users. 10x more than Mastodon.
Yeah and it especially doesn’t make sense since the twitter apps - where most people use twitter - are still called twitter and still have the twitter logo. Nothing has changed, and even with a name change and logo change nothing is going to change. It’s still twitter, and the people hate-tweeting that they’re leaving are still going to stay, since they’ve been hate-tweeting that they’re leaving since Musk bought the place lol.
What are the sources for this “user exodus”? Where are the stats, the numbers? It’s just clickbait by people that want twitter to die.
