mstdn.social concentration is looking similar to matrix.org, so, what about Matrix then?

They aren't worried about matrix because ever since Musk bought Twitter people have suddenly started caring about mastodon and activitypub. Not that I agree with the toot but the assumption is that corporate actors can use this scenario and mastodon to jumpstart their twitter alternative or something like that. Because of this mastodon has been getting a lot of attention. People don't care about matrix yet.

@ksynwa I think Matrix has more users (~64 million) than the Fediverse (~13 million).

Wow I didn't know that. Thanks.

Matrix also has incredible moderation abilities if you configure proper bots, and is very Discord like with guilds, plus no 8 MB media upload limit nonsense. But there is bloat as well compared to XMPP.
