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?

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.

@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.
@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.
