atomicpoet, Is signing up for Mastodon “easier” now that mastodon.social is the default server?
I question that assumption.
Prior to mastodon.social being made the default, Mastodon had around 220,000 sign-ups per week.
Now it’s fallen to 180,000 sign-ups per week.
Immediately, someone will retort, “Causation is not correlation”. Yes, that’s true.
But one thing is even more true: making mastodon.social the default for Mastodon hasn’t resulted in more Mastodon sign-ups.
If fewer people are signing up for Mastodon, just how much easier is the sign-up process compared to before? Is it really that much “easier”?
