But are we profitable?
No. But we are great.
Neither is Reddit
hopefully this marks the end of overinflated valuations for companies that own websites with a lot of users.
We have a couple more to go I guess. However any “disturbance” like that brings more people to the fediverse. And the stronger we get the better. The rest can stay on Twitter and Reddit. We need critical mass of good active users and we are set. I think Mastodon has done that. It feels like a nice large community. Lots of chatter and people are still steadily coming over. We don’t need to add more people to make it great. I think we have reached level of great that just attracts people now.
