Mastodon is dominated by Western users. There is no traction for it from countries where iOS is a miniscule userbase.

@jayesh @kev hmmm, is this statement based on any facts? Or is this just a gut feeling?

@iuculano Based on facts. A key market, e.g., India, with an overwhelming 98 percent Android population and the second or 3rd largest internet market in the world.

Zero traction in the place. It's a country of mobile-first users and always hungry to try out new social networks. There is complete disinterest in it for most.

@jayesh interesting. But if they're so hungry for new social networks, why the disinterest in Mastodon?

@iuculano Now this is expanding beyond the simple asked question into territory only the foolish will try and answer. The question originally was "why is iOS higher in usage here vs. Android which is the dominant world OS".

Since i work with mobile metrics off and on, i answered only based on observed facts.

Now for motivation- I am not going to try and speak for nearly 800 million users on why they do not want to use it.
