Also most of the rest of the world doesn't use Twitter (I'm seeing about 240M total users?). The ones that do use Twitter do so because of a significant amount of money going into marketing Twitter's platform.

Conversely, relatively nothing goes into pushing people to use mastodon. It can only take off if it really does prove, not just useful, but more useful than a centralized version that's got money behind it.

What microblogging service does most of the rest of the world use? Weibo? Telegram channels?

I imagine 'none'. With Twitter, the most recognized micro logging site in the world only has 240M of the worlds population, I conclude micro logging isn't popular worldwide.

The rest of the world uses WhatsApp Status. Twitter is for those who hand in their sanity in pursuit of an audience.

Twitter is basically a platform for social media managers, no one uses it to stay in touch with their 20 friends. Memefied prnewswire.

This "famous person/brand posts something medium witty 10 times a day, urge to consume intensifies" thing isn't that popular worldwide.
