Raw numbers are perhaps not enough to get across just how bad the centralisation of the Fediverse by mastodon.social is. I've done a chart to show this visually, hopefully this will make the situation clearer?
Given the circumstances, getting people to join other servers except mastodon.social would greatly help decentralise the Fediverse. It's no longer big vs medium vs small, it's more like supergiant deathstar mastodon.social vs everyone else 😞
Instead of Mastodon GmbH hoarding resources to pour into a single server farm, it needs to *distribute* those resources to subsidize existing servers and the creation of new ones.
If it's truly a distributed network, then #DistributeTheFunds.
