Is there actual evidence it's dying? For a while it seemed like the momentum was there but now I don't hear much about mastodon or even bluesky from normies.

Unfortunately I seem to hear much more mentions of Threads than Mastodon.

Mastodon and Bluesky will probably get another boost with this, then it'll go back to how it's been.

There are far too many bots for human account deletions to really make a dent in Xitter's numbers.
