Mastodon still can’t replace Twitter

It is absolutely an opinion. Your metrics are right, but "it's a failure" is absolutely an opinion. It's your opinion, based on what you place value on. Mastodon is not a failure to the 200k people that use it, it's a success to them. Thats their opinion, because they value different things than you.

"194k people use it, that's more than the populations of 20 sovereign nations! That's a success" has correct metrics, as correct as yours, but using that to call it a success is an opinion. Just like your statement is an opinion.

I just don't get OP's "years have passed, only a few hundred thousand ppl use it daily, therefor it's an abject failure" stance.

Not everything has to be used daily by a million+ people to be considered a success.
