Well, this is interesting: For two weeks now, #Mastodon is bringing noticeably more traffic to @heiseonline. #Bluesky is also growing again, and even #Threads bringing in more than ever before.

The #TwitterAlternatives are reaching new heights.

I don't really have an explanation, the #CES is over, and everything should be back to "normal". But I like it, of course!

[#]Flipboard was also bigger again, that's why "the #Fediverse" (meaning for me #Mastodon, #Bluesky and @Flipboard) are on par with #Facebook 🤭

Because it looks so impressive, let me again add together #Mastodon, #Bluesky and #Threads as Twitter alternatives: They're now bringing in more than #Twitter has in more than a year (even before we stopped posting over there).

@mho @heiseonline @heiseonlineenglish "Meta" is not an alternative to anything; it is an even bigger problem than "X".

@ChemicalEyeGuy @mho I agree I see all kinds of excuses out there, but there is no valid reason to be on a fascist social media platform. It’s all about their egos and they are ok with helping promote fascism.

@olmogonzalez @mho Take a look at URLs. They often contain tracking parameters like "utm_campaign".

@mho you could remove threads from that stack and it'd not change much.

@osma

We can't yet post automatically there, so there are just some manual posts. But that'll change, and we'll see, what happens then.

@mho I do not think that #bluesky is part of the #fediverse if there is a third party bridge necessary

@buzzdee

That's certainly valid and I won't die on that hill. But thre are also arguments for adding it, and I have decided to give them more weight.
