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.

If you add all the #TwitterAlternative s, they have been in the lead for a while now.
If you add @Flipboard and sum it up wit #Mastodon (because #Fediverse 
), then #Facebook ist not far.
But, if you have a look on the numbers since the beginning of 2022, then it's clear, that this is mainly a story about the decline of #Twitter.

The chart showing the #engagement with @heiseonline shows a slow decline in Boosts, Favs and Replies. Thanks @analytodon for the data!
Any idea, what I should look out for in the data we have?

Oh and did you know, that we also publish translations of our articles in english?

Here's a good question and I have the answer: #Traffic per Follower for different social networks (here for the last 4 weeks).
#Mastodon is now behind #Bluesky, #Flipboard still far ahead. #X and #Threads are really far behind.

Love to see it!
@mho @heiseonline On a recent Dot Social episode @mike interviewed @404mediaco and they mentioned that the ratio of followers-money received is significantly higher coming via their Fediverse accounts.
@mho @heiseonline And if traffic from Fediverse was smaller, would you still use Twitter over it?
I mean is it all just metrics, or ethical social media first? 
@mho @heiseonline @marzlberger
so that means that on Twitter/X 3/4 of the followers are bots
@mho @heiseonline Und da ich euch eh per RSS folge und im Feedreader habe, trage ich nicht zur Statistik bei, freue mich aber trotzdem!
Wann wird ActivityPub euer Forum erweitern? ;)
@mho @heiseonlineenglish do you have data on how many people leave heise upon seeing the cookie banner? the sentiment on them is pretty mixed in my sphere
@mho @heiseonlineenglish
That's really helpful for sharing with my international colleagues 
Is there also any english-exclusive content?

@mho just left Threads/Facebook for good. It was about time
@mho what’s Flipboard like? Who uses it— generally.
@katrintheresa
It's a news app, very algorithmic, but you can tweak it very much to your liking. To find stories/articles.
@mho
I really never heard before.
And I thought I’m quite good informed about the SoMe.
Are there any kind of groups using it or is it more common?
@katrintheresa
@Jackobli @katrintheresa
It seems to be quite big, but more in the US I think. Most use it as an app.
since I’m an educator. Not sure about the rest.
@mho
Not you perhaps but I see one comment... judging the fedi by traffic and other capitalist mindset nonsense is a mistake.
I see it everywhere, not just related to SM but in projects that aim to improve life.
We are so surrounded by a self-destructive culture we have to work very hard to see what is good and what is not for ourselves, and to avoid seeing things through a lens that distorts our understanding to the point we choose badly, choosing things that were never in our own interests.
@mho @heiseonline @heisec @ct_Magazin @heiseautos @iX_Magazin I had a very similar experience with Threads (26K followers) v. Mastodon (1K followers).
Mastodon blew Threads out of the water. Can you share your follower count on each? Especially Twitter v. Mastodon?
See: https://social.heise.de/@mho/113466033253356168
Here we have 64k follower, on Threads 20k
@mho do you think the small but steady increase in Mastodon accesses the past weeks is also part of the Twitter decline?
@buerviper
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.
@mho @heiseonline @heisec @ct_Magazin @heiseautos @iX_Magazin again, this is the right time to quit the alt right pile of sh** owned by Musk.
@mho
This is really interesting to see. Thanks for sharing. I notice that the y axis isn't labelled, perhaps to hide precise numbers for commercial reasons, which is understandable. Are you able to confirm at perhaps that the y axis is linear not logarithmic, and that the origin in the y axis is 0 please? (these both appear so, but I'd like to be sure)
@mho @heiseonline thanks for sharing! How are you measuring the traffic, URL parameters on links?
Yes, exactly. For the whole two years. But there was a bug, cutting them from the preview cards. So we missed many visits for a whole years.
This was only fixed with Version 4.3.0
@mho @heiseonline not as many robots as on X
