I am just guessing based on what people list in the twitter alts that it probably isn't that active. Think bluesky and activity pub are probably where it's at, with nostr as a bit of a curious outlier. But this is really not based on any stats just my suspicions. Think in my head gab, truth and Parler are kinda somewhat not in the race. Maybe that is my ignorance tho. And tbh all of this within the context of twitter/X *somewhat* being saved by Elon (yes yes I know the problems), I think the platform /protocol war would've been v different had Elon not bought.

Gab is doing perfectly fine. Nobody on GAB even heard of BlueSky, Nostr or Fediverse because they are perfectly happy being on GAB and don't want to be anywhere else. I don't know a single person who is on BlueSky but i have about 250 followers on GAB - real people, not bots.
the only reason i don't like GAB is, well 2 reasons:
1 - Christians
and
2 - Boomers
if you're a Christian Boomer you do not need any social media site other than GAB full stop.
unfortunately here on NOSTR we are getting Christ Cucks through the Fediverse Portal. i used to think " well at least they are not boomers " but they are literally more retarded than boomers.
Gab is super active. I get more likes on my comments on Gab than Jack gets on his Notes on NOSTR
but good luck discussing experimental music with redneck boomers on there
