I keep reading about how Mastodon is dying, or at least on the decline. But while it's had some growing pains, and has some inherent (though fixable) flaws that discourage many new users and drive some away, the COMMUNITY here just feels to me like it grows stronger every day!
I don't know if it's real, or if it's just my own experience, but things are feeling vibrant, alive, and interactive in a way that was pretty rare my first year or so here. So thank you all! #mastodon #fediverse

If by stronger you mean more devout then yes, I agree
