Mastodon sees a boost from the 'X exodus,' too, founder says | TechCrunch
Summary
Mastodon, the decentralized social network, is seeing renewed growth amid an “X exodus.”
Monthly active users rose to 894,000 across all servers, with app downloads increasing 47% on iOS and 17% on Android.
November saw a 27% jump in sign-ups, adding 90,000 new accounts.
Rochko emphasized Mastodon’s independence from venture capital, contrasting it with competitor Bluesky, which recently raised $15M in funding.
Despite its gains, Mastodon’s activity remains below its late 2022 peak. Rochko remains optimistic about the future of the fediverse, the open social web powered by ActivityPub.
