As expected, you won't answer my questions.

I have no connection to Mastodon (other than having an account), and am not a representative of theirs or their users, except maybe in your fevered mind. I wouldn't know how many DAUs the Mastodon network has, nor do I care, because it's irrelevant to me.

Besides, I'm certainly not the only one complaining about your obsession:

You've been at it for over TWO YEARS, now, banging that drum of "Mastodon has few users, therefor it is a failure".

Maybe if you think I'm the only one complaining about your posts, you should consider that Warnock's Dilemma applies:

Says the one who is obsessed with being the only direct reply-person about me critiquing Mastodon's fundamental issues, (with evidence and predictions) whilst you reacting without any counter-argument other than issuing these amusing complaints. Your "question" was an attempt to derail the discussion and added nothing other than you being childish.

An influx of new users from Twitter / X to Mastodon should have happened weeks ago in the millions, just like it did with Bluesky. Twice. Why didn't it? I provided that straight answer to everyone here, and somehow that offended you?

Please.

> You've been at it for over TWO YEARS, now, banging that drum of "Mastodon has few users, therefor it is a failure".

So it is evident that after two years (since the Twitter / X takeover), Mastodon was entirely confusing for new users and was unconvincing for them to stay. Even when there was a significant change, it was self-contradictory.

My point continues to still stand unchallenged and this is why little to no-one can take you or Mastodon seriously.
