Solarpunk Druid is a user on mastodon.social. You can follow them or interact with them if you have an account anywhere in the fediverse.
If you don't, you can sign up here.
So can anyone say if there has been an uptick in activity on #friendica or #diaspora since the delete Facebook drive a while ago?
@switchingsocial oh that's interesting. I wonder why people stuck with one and not the other.
I'm guessing it's because Friendica federates with Mastodon, while Diaspora doesn't.
Mastodon is by far the most active alternative social network, so that benefits Friendica.
@switchingsocial that's a promising sign. One of the biggest problems with getting people to switch networks is the level of activity and presence of friends.
The idea any federated platform can draw on the collective activity of the whole fediverse will make trying/switching networks much easier for people.
@jackalope
Yes, there were clear upticks on both, though the Diaspora uptick has dissipated:
