@J12t @oblomov @maegul @Gargron For the sake of comparison, let's look at diaspora's growth.

It went from 115 nodes in September to 117 nodes in September. Now imagine how much more growth it could have if it simply integrated ActivityPub.

So again, while diaspora's devs bemoaned lack of uniformity and usability, few people are using it -- and it can't speak to the rest of the Fediverse.

There's a reason why we're here and not there.
