Exactly two years ago, we started to post links on #Mastodon via our account @heiseonline
https://mastodon.social/@heiseonline/109314036284496776
It took longer, than I expected, but here we are: it seems like this account now brings continuously more #traffic to heise.de than #X (#Twitter) in its entirety, although it only has ¼ of the follower number (and many of them don't seem to be active anymore).
I'll prepare some graphs after the weekend.

The week is over, here are some charts:
For two weeks in a row, #Mastodon brought more #traffic than #X / #Twitter to heise.de.
But I forgot, that's not just via @heiseonline, but also @heisec, @ct_Magazin, @heiseautos, @iX_Magazin etc. (but for Twitter its the same).
#Bluesky is way behind, #Threads even more. Only Twitter is clearly falling.

@mho do you think the small but steady increase in Mastodon accesses the past weeks is also part of the Twitter decline?

No, I totally attribute that to the fix for a bug, that cut our URL-parameter from the preview card. Now with #Mastodon V4.3.0 we can simply see more of our #Mastodon-traffic again.
