FACT CHECK: Mastodon has only 1.8 million active users, down from 2.5 million in December and continues to hemorrhage followers (https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2023/jan/08/elon-musk-drove-more-than-a-million-people-to-mastodon-but-many-arent-sticking-around). People who thought the sky would fall (it didn't) are steadily making their way back to Twitter. Mastodon is a dying platform and this is a foolish move (that no one asked for). Please just fix Medium.
