Mastodon actually has 407K+ more monthly users than it thought

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The adjustment also included a gain of 2.34 million registered users across an additional 727 servers that had not been counted due to the error.

The issue was impacting the metrics reported on Mastdon’s statistics aggregator on its joinmastodon.org/servers page, which had been undercounting users between Oct. 2 and Oct. 8.

The latest disruptive move by X owner Elon Musk has seen the company remove headlines from link previews on the platform for aesthetic reasons and to keep users on the site instead of clicking away.

The move has angered publishers, some of which suggested they would scale back on posting to X given the declining traffic the network was sending their way as of late.

Prior to that, Musk announced he was planning to charge all users a small fee to use X, though it’s unclear how serious his statements were as CEO Linda Yaccarino didn’t seem to be aware of his ideas when asked during an interview.

Later, Yaccarino told X debt holders that the company would introduce three tiers of payment plans for the network in an effort to grow revenues.

Mastodon is definitely leading the fediverse.

I am begging for the day that ActivityPub cross-platform integration becomes more standard.

If Mastodon instances could more easily interact with other ActivityPub based fediverse structures, then the Fediverse would gain a massive amount of users overall overnight.
