Why is Mastodon struggling to survive? (www.reddit.com)

I don't like the clickbait title at all -- Mastodon's clearly going to survive, at least for the forseeable future, and it wouldn't surprise me if it outlives Xitter.

Still, Mastodon is struggling; most of the people who checkd it out in the November 2022 surge (or the smaller June 2023 surge) didn't stick around, and numbers have been steadily declining for the last year. The author makes some good points, and some of the comments are excellent.

I read some of your comments and you seem like an interesting person

Thanks!

I’d be grateful if you could share your poetry

I use the same handle/nickname as here (dsilverz) on Mastodon's main instance (mastodon.social). There's a mix of poetry types and genres (some are really dark, found under the "Content Warning" Mastodon feature), but all of them tries to fit the 500 character limitation. There are other instances as well (one where I post AI imagery illustrating the poetry I've written, other has a plus 500 character limit, where I posted storytelling but has no many posts because it's not well federated) I'm yet to find a Mastodon instance that both supports over 500 characters and has a reasonable federation and user activity (so that posts gets to readers).
