Are some singularities bigger than others? Are they made of different things? I don't know this shite man!
We can measure the mass of a black hole in a very similar way that we measure the mass of a nearby star or even your own body - measure the effects of gravity and do the math.
As for the size, first we'll have to figure out what size even means when space itself is ripped apart. Is there even a meaningful difference between assuming that the volume enclosed by the event horizon is of uniform density vs. a dimensionless point singularity with infinite density at the center of an event horizon? In either case, density can only be calculated if volume is defined, and the volume of a black hole can only be defined by its event horizon.

If you believe in the multiverse (or wormholes or the proverbial balloon) you can't believe the singularity has size, density, matter. It has to be an opening. If you believe there is a little ball getting denser and denser until it blows, then there should be one measured singularity out there somewhere.
It's unprovable what it is. Much like other things, amirite?
