I'm really interested in #technology #transitions - and watching the #TwitterMigration to #Mastodon makes me think about how we know transitions are taking place and how far along we are in a transition or regime change.
Accounts like @mastodonmigration post useful stats on how many new users are joining the #Fediverse, often correlating with some sort of Twitter controversy.
But what other #indicators, #signals and #metrics inform our view of the adoption of the #Fediverse? Here's some I can think of:
Font sets like Font Awesome provide #mastodón and other Fediverse-aligned logos, like #Pixelfed.
Businesses begin to advertise their Mastodon address alongside other social properties.
We start to see whole-of-government or whole-of-sector approaches to creating and maintaining Mastodon instances - for example, mastodon.gov.au.
We start to see COTS offerings of Mastodon hosting by hosting providers
We start to see Udemy and other micro-learning providers offering Mastodon "certification"
What other signals can you think of?
