Gregory's ServerAt its peak, there were ~5000 developers building on the Ethereum blockchain, according to enthusiasts' own estimates, and this was easily the most popular platform for blockchain devs. By contrast, over in the fediverse, Mastodon *alone* has over 40k stars on GitHub (indicating individual devs who are following the project) and that's just one project within the overall explosion of innovation happening in every facet of the fediverse β without any crypto bribes or scams driving any of it.

  @anildash Nobody from that world is even here to defend the e.g. web3 case because it was never about decentralisation for them. Just a grift. @anildash Sheesh even if we agree with your premise and motives, backing it with completely bogus "metrics" is not a good look. |
Some would quibble with the stats that I'm comparing here, and that's fine and valid, but I will note that nobody replied with a correction on a blockchain-based platform. π
