Compared to other Twitter alternatives? It absolutely is. It's not even a contest, it's in a league of its own. As embarassing as it sounds, Bluesky, Nostr, Post.news, Spoutible etc don't come even close. (Threads does of course, but the two should be compatible in the near future.)

It's also the only one that 1) didn't come to life as a reaction to Twitter changing ownership, 2) federates between a decent amount of interoperable servers and software right now, not in the future, 3) already has years of experience of dealing with bad actors that are gonna come to any decentralised service, 4) grew organically, not with VC money, and 5) is stable enough that you can choose between dozens of third-party clients (the thing we all complained about Twitter and Reddit killing this year).

A couple of millions of MAU is tiny in comparison to centralised social media (like Instagram), but it's huge in comparison to any other decentralised protocol made this century. There's nothing out there that's gonna dethrone it in usage for the next 3-5 years.

It makes the remark above even more idiotic.
