nathans :ms_weed:<p>Amid Twitter chaos, Mastodon grew donations 488% in 2022, reached 1.8M monthly active users | TechCrunch</p><p>Consumer interest in open source, decentralized social networking isn’t something that was only reflected in news headlines over the past year, it’s also apparent in the financials behind Mastodon. The nonprofit organization powers one of the many apps that came into fashion as a Twitter alternative following Elon Musk’s acquisition of the social network he’s since renamed X. According to Mastodon’s annual report, released today, the company says it’s seen a 488% increase in donations, totaling €325.9K, or roughly $341,985 in U.S. dollars.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/TwitterMigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TwitterMigration</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Twitter</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/TuskNotMusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TuskNotMusk</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>News</span></a></p><p><a href="https://techcrunch.com/2023/10/02/amid-twitter-chaos-mastodon-grew-donations-488-in-2022-reached-1-8m-monthly-active-users/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">techcrunch.com/2023/10/02/amid</span><span class="invisible">-twitter-chaos-mastodon-grew-donations-488-in-2022-reached-1-8m-monthly-active-users/</span></a></p>

With more than 153 million followers at the time of publication, Musk's account <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@elonmusk" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>elonmusk</span></a></span> is basically a microcosm of the platform as a whole.</p><p>So, who are Musk's followers in relation to the platform? How active are they? How often do they post? Are they consuming a lot of creator content on X? Do they subscribe to Musk's subscription plan, X Premium, formerly known as Twitter Blue? Are Musk's followers real?</p><p>Mashable has reviewed new data collected by third-party researcher Travis Brown, who compiled basic account information on all of Musk's more than 153 million followers via a meticulous process that respected X's rate limit parameters.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Twitter</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Elon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Elon</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ElonMusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ElonMusk</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Musk</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/TwitterBlue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TwitterBlue</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>News</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/TuskNotMusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TuskNotMusk</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/TwitterMigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TwitterMigration</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/MattBinder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MattBinder</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Mashable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mashable</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mashable.com/article/elon-musk-x-twitter-follower-data" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mashable.com/article/elon-musk</span><span class="invisible">-x-twitter-follower-data</span></a></p>
