So I noticed #ATT suspended their own #Threads account, as it shows up on #Instagram but when you tried to visit the account you receive a “Content not available” page.

👉🏾 Why Did AT&T Suspend Their Threads Account‽ https://darnell.day/why-did-atandt-suspend-their-threads-account

AT&T’s rivals (#Verizon & #Tmobile) are active on Threads, but not AT&T.

I wonder if they suspended their account out of privacy concerns or maybe (my theory) AT&T plans to launch an #ActivityPub instance (for customer support) under their own domain‽ 🤔

Here is my (mostly accurate) list of the top #Fediverse sites, including controversial (albeit sadly legal) sites.

Too Long; Did Not Read:

👉🏾 #Mastodon variant #TruthSocial sadly takes to the top spot
👉🏾 Mastodon dominates the list, but #Misskey, #MicroBlog & #Pixelfed instances reach the top 30
👉🏾 Testing sites with fake accounts were not counted, but they are “inflating” the metrics (they should be ignored).
👉🏾 I also excluded a #Twitter content scraper

@JonathanTreffler @codewiz I remember Google trying to sell these to me but at the time the places I needed them were beyond my control (other services that I use). My job also uses them but they only hand them to certain individuals.

@codewiz Thanks! If I ever buy an Android phone that will be blessing. Many sites now present me with the option of sending an SMS, using email or (the smart ones) realize I am using multiple mobile devices & will have me confirm via push notification on one of those (iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch).

However, there are a few that were a nightmare to navigate around, & I had to have tech support disable the Authenticator login after swapped phones.

Also I am trying to reduce the number of sites that I use Google Authenticator app with. If you ever swap phones it’s a hassle to access your account again.
