I'm really interested in #technology #transitions - and watching the #TwitterMigration to #Mastodon makes me think about how we know transitions are taking place and how far along we are in a transition or regime change.

Accounts like @mastodonmigration post useful stats on how many new users are joining the #Fediverse, often correlating with some sort of Twitter controversy.

But what other #indicators, #signals and #metrics inform our view of the adoption of the #Fediverse? Here's some I can think of:

👉 Font sets like Font Awesome provide #mastodón and other Fediverse-aligned logos, like #Pixelfed.

👉 Businesses begin to advertise their Mastodon address alongside other social properties.

👉 We start to see whole-of-government or whole-of-sector approaches to creating and maintaining Mastodon instances - for example, mastodon.gov.au.

👉 We start to see COTS offerings of Mastodon hosting by hosting providers

👉 We start to see Udemy and other micro-learning providers offering Mastodon "certification"

What other signals can you think of?
