Why do people call fediverse mastodon? There's other and better Twitter clones that use activitypub, such as pleroma or soapbox...
I'll defend that user count isn't all that matters (these aren't venture capital backed businesses), but I'm curious why you prefer those?

Never heard of them until now...
I had this account for years, but I only used it to get away from "log in to see more posts" whenever I randomly stumbled upon some Instagram link, so yeah, I'm not doing that.
If you haven't already made accounts in any major platform many years ago, getting in without giving a massive amount of personal information (up to having to send your very own personal documents, such as your passport) is not as simple as just signing up, and it gets worse if anti-fraud algorithms pick you up, or your device is "off the norm", I've already experienced a few services where signing up via phone application works, but it's impossible through a desktop. This seems like a very overlooked issue that's become somewhat expected, even outside Meta's trigger happy ban policy (remember people getting banned for signing up to use their oculus device?)
>In more than one way, the users of Threads lose from my non-participation. Wow, this guy…
I had no instagram account, so I set one up to try out threads within the first week of launch. On July 7 I received an email from instagram stating that my account had been suspended for being in violation of community guidelines.
Where my experience differed is that I was able to review and appeal this without entering a mobile number into my instagram account. Very shortly after I submitted a request for review via email, my account was reinstated.
