More people are on ActivityPub platforms, while GNU Social uses older OStatus and from what I know it doesn't work with ActivityPub.

Nobody uses it :P.

On that logic a lot of software should be removed.

I think if more people knew that software like GNU Social and Diaspora exist then we would have more users. I always considered PTIO as a way to inform users of stuff like this. :P

Still, what does GNU Social do that other platforms don't?
More people are on ActivityPub platforms, while GNU Social uses older OStatus and from what I know it doesn't work with ActivityPub platforms, while Mastodon or Pleroma can view GNU Social (and other OStatus platforms) profiles and posts.

EDIT: Mastodon doesn't support OStatus anymore and most people use Mastodon.
