@dansup has counted the landlords. That’s how it stands.

13 million profiles – who would have thought it? We can certainly be a little proud. Everyone has done their bit – some more, some less, each according to their ability.
So now we have a huge, global, independent, federated network.
It’s by no means the solution; the work is only just beginning. I’ve been involved right from the start. As I’m not a dev, I’m just a loudmouth. Someone’s got to do it, after all :)) #fedi #fediverse #federation #federated #freedom

@reverend @dansup @reverend @dansup Wow, a lot smaller than I thought. This is not even a drop in the ocean.

@h4890 I don’t think so. These are the people who decided to do things differently. Five years ago, there were 30,000 – that’s a huge leap, without any companies, without billions, without a lobby. It’s a huge number and a huge success that changes the world.

@reverend What ever. Fact remains, this is nothing.

@h4890 I think. That’s because there’s hardly any art here. Where there’s no music, there’s no fun, and where there’s no fun, people don’t come. If we want to do something, let’s find the artists a decent place. #music

@reverend Art? I do not think that art is what is lacking. Look at FB, it is 99% excrement. I think the reason is marketing and money. If mastodon had as much money as FB, and spammed the world with commrecials, and paid Samsung and Apple to be the default app, then the nr of users would increase instantly from millions to hundreds of millions.
