I finally gave Mastodon a try because many interesting Twitter accounts I follow moved there, or at least got active on it and broadcasted the fact. I have to admit I am positively surprised so far. Very much so.

Now everything depends on how much activity remains once the current dust settles.

Will Mastodon overtake Twitter? I still doubt it, but honestly I really can't imagine why I would care about that as long as Mastodon manages to establish, nurture, and retain a healthy userbase. Which is all I would need to keep using it.

I fear it will go the way of Signal, every time Meta forces a uela change, some people switch, most switch back... Let's hope there will at some point be a critical mass. For Signal it's too late, in my country WA is the standard sadly.

5+ years ago Whatsapp was pretty much the standard for all my network (apart from my US colleagues still using SMS a lot). But over the last 5 years its fragmented a LOT. I often have conversations with same friends across >1 messaging app.
