A primary cause of complexity is that software vendors uncritically adopt almost any feature that users want.

So I don't know who follows the #reddit drama, but the company is killing its #API ahead of its IPO (OMG).
There are probably a few million people who primarily interact with the content through 3rd party apps, websites, and tools. A large number of those are power users and #mods. Over the next month, it is likely that we will see a big influx of new #users #migrating from reddit as they lose access to the features they depend on.
I'm fairly active over there, but I'm not sure what we can do to help people #onboard.
If you are new from reddit, or just exploring feel free to ask me any questions

Everyone is guilty of not reading at times, but the “Who are you?” is pretty clear. Suggestions like “Your Name” or “Name” are a lot shorter and quicker to read because there are 33-50% fewer words 🤣
The “customer/user is always right” comes to mind when you keep getting the wrong answer - what seems clear to you isn’t clear to others and I’ve seen it many times and always end up ‘fixing’ it and shaking me head.

It's funny when you begin to realize who is on your side and who isn't. At first all your situations line up until you get an obstruction in the road and they run away. Then you get past that and suddenly they reappear. I told them when they came back, their services were no longer required. Then I walked away. #friends #associate #users #abusers

It's pretty much the same with the "unlisted" feature. Does what it is described to do, but does not do what users intuitively "know" it will do based on experience with other applications and protocols.

Excellent article. We've grown to 1.2M regular users! I left the blue bird last fall and love it here. Seems Meta and Jack Dorsey are each introducing decentralized social media networks soon - so if Mastodon's struggling so much, why is it being copied? Seems fine to me.

Like #Twitter, #Mastodon is a #microblogging service, with some very similar functionality. A message on Mastodon is called a ‘toot’, and you can identify its topic with a #tag. At the same time, the affordances and features of the two platforms are also different in many ways. Mastodon is free from #commercial interests. It has no owners, no #advertisements, and no for-profit #business model. Instances are installed and maintained by #users, and paid for by #donations and #sponsors.

I just finished a 7-day #BirdSite poll for just my 20k followers.
0.02% voted. The other 99.98% didn't bother.
'Engaged users' is a much more interesting metric than 'sign-ups' (though harder to measure). 🙂
Everybody is PC playing...
Steam breaks its records for most concurrent and active users, again https://www.vg247.com/steam-concurrent-player-count-record-2023
How well Mastodon is doing is not necessarily informed by this graph.
Why? Because most *Twitter* users, stop using that platform after a few days/weeks too. It was one of Twitter’s biggest problems: turnover.
So this is entirely expected for microblogging: many people come try it out, some leave.
Arvind (@randomwalker) should be a little more careful about what conclusions he draws.

How do YOU feel about this?
#Mastodon #active #inactive #users #user #userexperience #ux #journalists #journalist
The data for #active #users vs. users becoming #inactive on #Mastodon over time isn't looking good.
#Journalists are increasingly clamouring for #inclusion of #features which they strongly feel are needed to do their #job better.
Meanwhile, some find Mastodon #confusing, inconsistent, and laughably #petty. This seems only partly #instance-dependent.
Will many Mastodon users stop using it if #user #experience and other issues are not addressed?
If so, what do you feel are those key issues?
for the #mastodon #users here a reminder to turn on #mfa AND have a very random password (in your #passwordmanager) that is only used on mastodon and nowhere else.
For the #infosec community: is there a good free #dkim #dmarc monitor for domains that you can easilly use at scale? All monitors I saw are rediculously expensive.
@yuki2501 Many thanks for the wakeup call. Boosting.
My summary of the above post: #Cloud company Linode starts offering #Mastodon #hosting. This is good! Now is the time for #admins / #mods to join forces and prepare #resources and useful #information, for use of the incoming next #generation of admins / mods, and to herd the incoming waves of new #users when #Twitter dies.

Anything that isn't intended to be a #Server for multiple #Users that should remain persistent even after #Logout doesn't have a reason to setup a #daemon or run as such...

Currently 8m #accounts, just shy of 400k #users/day. #Twitter has something like 450m active users.
If #Mastodon kept that 5% #growth, compounded weekly, it would catch up with #Twitter in something like 1.5–2 years. Probably an insane #model, though.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, if #Mastodon kept a constant 400k/week growth, it would catch up to #Twitter in 20+ years.

https://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/SBM
"A SBM is a corporate online #advertisement platform that entices people (othered as 'users') to broadcast themselves to other people. The term #social is only #PR meant as a lure to get people to sign up and begin the process of making them mindless #users, addicted to #doomscrolling, vanity influencing and toxic behaviors. The aim is to keep them online consuming #Ads. Well-known SBM's include #Twitter, #Facebook, #Youtube and #Tiktok."
