Abstract
Mastodon experienced a recent surge in user numbers following the takeover of Twitter by Elon Musk. While the number of active users is decreasing again, Mastodon is predicted to stay a larger platform than before (Hoover, 2023). Independent of its long-term success, the events of 2022/2023 make Mastodon a unique case study for scholars to investigate the phenomenon of large-scale user migration. Mastodon’s unique characteristics, on its own and in contrast to Twitter, make it a curious object of interest for research on social networks, instances, and cross-instance dynamics (Cava et al., 2022; Zignani et al., 2018, 2019).
在埃隆·马斯克收购推特后,Mastodon的用户数量最近激增。虽然活跃用户数量再次减少,但Mastodon预计将保持比以前更大的平台规模(Hoover,2023)。独立于其长期成功,2022/2023年的事件使Mastodon成为学者研究大规模用户迁移现象的独特案例。Mastodon的独特特征,就其本身而言,与Twitter相比,使其成为社交网络、实例和跨实例动态研究的有趣对象(Cava et al.,2022;Zignani et al.,20182019)。
