Post #3886506

I did read a lot of @_elena@mastodon.social on #wsocial, especially the Ghosttown one. And I had two questions on me: Is the "W" in wsocial for winning? And is this "Ghosttown" winning*? Luckily, wsocial is built on top of Atproto and uses a PDS, and this has a public API. So, I created: https://w-for-winning-questionmark.playground.54gradsoftware.de/ This updates weekly and compares the wsocial account activity numbers to staff of European institutions. *Depending on what the definition of winning is for this VC Funded company, I would not say it is currently very successful. Personally, I would say that a network only for verified accounts can never win, but the numbers are also still quite low. The number of accounts that have at least one post in the last 31 days is, with 1,061 accounts, lower than my "local" Mastodon instance, Norden.social. Please note that the numbers on the website are only as accurate as the publicly available data, and for legal reasons they may not be entirely accurate.
