The dataset tabulates the population of Mastodon township by gender, including both male and female populations. This dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution of Mastodon township across both sexes and to determine which sex constitutes the majority.
Key observations
There is a slight majority of male population, with 50.95% of total population being male. Source: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates.
When available, the data consists of estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates.
Scope of gender :
Please note that American Community Survey asks a question about the respondents current sex, but not about gender, sexual orientation, or sex at birth. The question is intended to capture data for biological sex, not gender. Respondents are supposed to respond with the answer as either of Male or Female. Our research and this dataset mirrors the data reported as Male and Female for gender distribution analysis. No further analysis is done on the data reported from the Census Bureau.

The decentralized social media (DeSo) software market is experiencing rapid growth, driven by increasing concerns over data privacy, censorship, and the centralized control of traditional social media platforms. The market's expansion is fueled by a growing user base seeking platforms that offer greater control over their data and online interactions. While precise figures for market size are unavailable, considering the current user base of established platforms like Mastodon and the significant investment and development in emerging platforms like Bluesky and Lens Protocol, a conservative estimate for the 2025 market size would be around $500 million. Considering a projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 30% from 2025-2033, this suggests substantial market expansion, potentially reaching over $6 billion by 2033. Key drivers include heightened user demand for greater autonomy and transparency, the development of more user-friendly interfaces, and ongoing improvements in blockchain technology facilitating scalability and accessibility. Trends indicate a shift toward interoperability between different decentralized platforms, fostering a more interconnected and decentralized social media ecosystem. However, challenges remain, including the complexities of blockchain technology for the average user, scalability issues for some platforms, and the potential for fragmentation within the decentralized landscape, which may hinder widespread adoption. The market segmentation shows a diverse range of platforms catering to various needs and preferences. Some platforms, like Mastodon, emphasize open-source development and community governance, while others, like Bluesky, are backed by significant venture capital and focus on ease of use. Notably, platforms leverage different blockchain technologies and approaches, highlighting the evolving nature of this sector. Companies such as Minds, Diaspora, and Steemit are established players, continuously evolving to compete with newer entrants and technological advancements. While regional data is currently absent, early adoption trends suggest strong interest in North America and Europe, followed by Asia-Pacific and other regions. Further growth is contingent on addressing challenges related to user experience, scaling infrastructure, and fostering wider mainstream adoption.

The decentralized social media (DSM) software market is experiencing rapid growth, driven by increasing concerns over data privacy, censorship, and centralized control of online platforms. The market, currently estimated at $500 million in 2025, is projected to witness a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 30% from 2025 to 2033, reaching approximately $4 billion by 2033. This expansion is fueled by several key trends: the rising adoption of blockchain technology, the growing demand for user-owned data, and a surge in interest in Web3 applications. The key application segments are personal use and enterprise solutions, with cloud-based deployment leading the way. While the market faces challenges like scalability issues, user experience limitations, and the need for enhanced security measures, the inherent advantages of decentralization – increased transparency, censorship resistance, and improved data security – are powerful drivers of market expansion. The competitive landscape is dynamic, with a multitude of platforms, including Minds, Mastodon, Bluesky, and others, vying for market share. This competition fosters innovation and drives the evolution of the DSM ecosystem, leading to the development of more robust and user-friendly platforms. Regional growth is anticipated across all regions, with North America and Europe expected to maintain a significant market share due to higher technology adoption rates and strong awareness of decentralized technologies. However, rapid adoption in Asia-Pacific and other developing regions is anticipated, potentially leading to a more balanced global distribution in the coming years. The success of the DSM market hinges on overcoming technical and adoption challenges. This includes improving the overall user experience, enhancing interoperability between different platforms, and addressing scalability limitations to support a larger user base. Furthermore, education and awareness campaigns are crucial to attract both individual users and businesses, highlighting the benefits of decentralized social media in terms of privacy, control, and community governance. As the technology matures and the user base expands, the DSM market's growth trajectory is expected to remain strong, potentially transforming the social media landscape as we know it. The integration of innovative features such as decentralized identity solutions and improved content moderation mechanisms will further contribute to the growth and mainstream adoption of these platforms.

The decentralized social media (DSM) platform market is experiencing significant growth, driven by increasing concerns over data privacy, censorship, and centralized control of online platforms. The market, while currently relatively small, is projected to experience substantial expansion over the forecast period (2025-2033). While precise figures for the past market size are unavailable, a reasonable estimate, considering the nascent nature of the technology and its adoption rate, suggests a 2024 market size in the low tens of millions of dollars. Assuming a conservative Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 30% for the next decade (reflecting both technological advancement and market penetration), the market could reach several hundred million dollars by 2033. Key drivers include rising user demand for greater control over their data, a distrust of centralized platforms following numerous high-profile data breaches and censorship incidents, and the technological advancements making decentralized solutions more viable. Emerging trends like blockchain integration for secure data management, improved user interfaces to enhance accessibility, and the development of decentralized identity systems are further fueling market growth. However, restraints include the complexities of blockchain technology, the need for enhanced scalability to support a wider user base, and the inherent challenges of building a sustainable community around decentralized platforms. The lack of widespread awareness and understanding of the benefits of DSM platforms also hinder mass adoption. The diverse landscape of DSM platforms includes established players like Mastodon and Steemit, alongside newer entrants like Holochain and DeSo, each employing varying technological approaches and targeting different user demographics. Segmenting the market based on platform technology (e.g., blockchain-based, distributed ledger-based), target audience (e.g., privacy-conscious users, content creators), and monetization strategies (e.g., token-based rewards, advertising) would offer a more granular understanding. Regional data, while absent, likely reflects a higher adoption rate in tech-savvy regions such as North America and Europe, with growth potential in developing markets as internet penetration and digital literacy increase. Further research into user demographics, platform functionalities, and regulatory landscapes will be crucial to fully assess the market's potential and challenges.
