At this point there is enough people on Mastodon for me to stay there without caring if its “the next big” or not.


These days I'm actually more excited to find the next small thing.


Exactly. Everybody seems to look for the place "where everyone is".

Truth is that there is none. People are always spread around many different places (and it’s a good thing).

Is everybody on Mastodon ? Absolutely not (but you would be surprised how many people never were on Twitter either).

Is there enough people on Mastodon to keep you informed, entertained and making you discover new stuff? Absolutely.

Is your niche interest represented on Mastodon? I don’t know but it might be, although with different "codes/traditions" which might make it harder to find at first glance.

Will Mastodon be the next big thing? Well, nobody on Mastodon seems to care about that question.

Is Mastodon a success? Of course it is for the thousands people using it daily.

Should I use Mastodon? Only you can answer that…
