I mean, Mastodon is German, so they're probably moving here. The federated fork of Dorsey's Twitter is second.

BlueSky is not federated. Also German users have outsized representation on Mastodon but most of the network is outside Germany.

"federated"

There is always that one comment saying "b-but its technically kinda federated". It doesnt fucking matter if its federated if 99.999% of all users are on one instance. The entire concept of a long lived, enshittification resistant fediverse relies entirely on being decentralized with a reasonably evenly distributed userbase. You fucking bet lemmy would already be completely worthless right now if people hadnt stopped lemmy.world from grabbing more communities and users.

I agree with your overall sentiment but also literally 100% of BlueSky users are on one instance.
