Mastodon’s CEO, founder and lead developer Eugen Rochko announced in a blog post that his platform has grown from around 300,000 monthly active users to 2.5 million monthly users between October and November. Elon Musk officially took over Twitter in late October, revealing that the massive increase in Mastodon’s user count is related to Musk’s move.Those who escaped from Twitter took refuge in Mastodon
Rochko’s post also touched on Twitter’s bans on @ElonJet and the sudden removal of many journalists from the platform and then being reinstated. “This is a stark reminder that centralized platforms can impose arbitrary and unfair limits on what you can and cannot say while holding your social graph hostage,” Rochko said. He used his expressions. On the other hand, it was underlined that there is no middleman in the decentralized Mastodon.
On the other hand, Mastodon is not the only Twitter alternative that users turn to. Platforms such as Post, Hive and the more familiar Discord, Tumblr and Reddit, led by former Waze CEO Noam Bardin, are also seen stealing users from Twitter.
In addition to all this, Elon Musk may be preparing to resign as Twitter CEO. As we mentioned in our previous news, Musk opened a survey about whether to resign from his account and stated that he would comply with the result. The poll concluded a while ago, and the majority of users said Musk should resign.
