You should know that you and I are not “normal” for using Mastodon.
You are right. It is also not “normal” to use twitter. Youtube, Facebook and WhatsApp are most widely used. But FOSS doesn’t not need to be normal. It is absolutely OK to have a smaller circle of people who therefore associate more with the organisation.
Heise reports on user-traffic (in German) comparing mastodon and x:
““Twitter now only generates a third of the traffic it did three years ago.” For several weeks, the number of clicks generated by Heise via X has been lower than those generated via the decentralized Twitter alternative Mastodon. This is despite the fact that the main page “heise online” has almost 240,000 followers on X and only just under 66,000 on Mastodon.”
