Now, this is some news! Ever since Elon Musk took over Twitter, Mastodon has gained millions of new users!
What is Mastodon?
Mastodon is free and open-source software for running self-hosted social networking services. It has microblogging features similar to Twitter.
According to an update from Mastodon, the decentralized, open-source Twitter alternative has been gaining traction fast ever since Twitter was taken over by its new owner, Elon Musk.
“Mastodon has recently exploded in popularity, jumping from approx. 300K monthly active users to 2.5M between the months of October and November, with more and more journalists, political figures, writers, actors and organizations moving over,” says creator Eugen Rochko said in a statement.
From 300,000 users to 2,500,000 in just a month is pretty substantial growth!
It should be noted that these numbers only include Mastodon usage up to the end of November. It will be interesting to see how growth looks in December.
In this current social media landscape, it’s always good to have alternatives. And Mastodon is making a convincing case that it’s the place to go if you want something different from what Musk is offering.
