Decentralized Social Media Mastodon’s Active User Increases by 294,000 in 3 Days

Three days after Twitter imposed new limits on the number of posts users can see (based on their verification status), rival social media company Mastodon reported a significant increase in traffic.

According to a July 4 post from Mastodon creator and CEO Eugen Rochko, the platform’s active user base surged by at least 294,000.

Mastodon is a German rival of Twitter with a similar tweet-like structure, though it highlights that it's user-driven and decentralized. While Twitter is controlled by one entity, Mastodon runs via a network of thousands of dispersed computer servers and is primarily administrated by volunteers.

At the time of writing, Mastodon reported 388,000 active users.
