There's an uptick of sign-ups on mastodon.social larger than on the day Musk bought 9.2% of Twitter's shares (that's the other peak). I suspect similar graphs across the entire Mastodon network (at least I hope so!)

@Gargron Really hoping it leads to something lasting, Twitter has been too bad for too long

@Gargron Yuuuup! :fediverse: :mastodon:

Barkeeper Tom :damnified:

@Gargron unfortunately there's no peak for metalhead.club (and probably other small instances). New users seem to register on Mastodon.social mainly...

Maybe we should think about better ways to distribute users across more instances?

@Gargron The graph says yes but the number says no. :) Considering how busy we've been approving new accounts, I'm going with the graph.

@Gargron I certainly came crawling back to Mastodon today! Trying to remember why I wandered off in the first place.

@Gargron won't happen on my instance simply because I'm not letting people XD

But supremely nice indeed.

@Gargron yeah. I’m one of them. How many percent will this number of new accounts make on twitter? 😂

Christian Mutig 👻🚫

@Gargron It will skyrocket, should Twitter accept his deal.

Tim Chambers

@Gargron I’m seeing a smaller version of same at Indieweb.social

@Gargron I'm one of those new users. Looks epic so far.

Christopher M0YNG

@Gargron no. But we only have 426 users.
I do hope you remember that most mastodon instances are small...

Chris42

@Gargron I guess we'll find out how well Mastodon scales 😀

RevolutionaryPineapple

@Gargron I hope this continues. I'd love for Mastodon to get another wave of attention!

Archos :distros_arch: :matrix:

@Gargron Nothing yet. Newbies usually register on mastodon.social. Hopefully it will get better with time.

@Gargron what happens with my account if the instance is shut down?

Don di Dislessia

@Gargron vielleicht ein guter Zeitpunkt, um bei den sehr großen Instanzen, die Registrierung mal für ein paar Tagen zu begrenzen und auf die kleineren Instanzen zu verweisen, um das Netzwerk insgesamt robuster zu machen?

@Gargron How are you seeing this data? Can we access it too?

@Gargron I'm glad to see you are having success... This is a Great Platform.

@Gargron Hi, sorry, I haven't been following the news. Why is this uptick happening now?

@Gargron das sieht vielversprechend aus

vielleicht sollte ich dieses mastodon kaufen

@Gargron Can confirm! I joined Mastodon after the purchase. Thought if there was gonna be a exodus, I should get ahead of the curve, and if not, I can contribute to chipping away at corporate monopolies anyways.

@Gargron Is there any way to see the new users?

thisis_JTR :emacs: ☕

@Gargron yepp.. that's what I said the other day, one of the good outcomes of musk and Twitter is people getting more familiar with mastodon and perhaps the fediverse. Good good.

Michael :mastodon:

@Gargron l guess I'm not the only person preparing an escape route 😀 - I'm glad that I was lucky enough to find this instance.

@Gargron Musk's Ted Talk about his "visions" for Twitter just dropped, so I suspect it's that.

a3company

@Gargron so far so good, but the UI need some work... the "advanced" version si just broken...

Rysiekúr Memesson 🇺🇦

@Gargron hmm, missed it. That's great! Any idea why that might be the case?

Cats Who Code 💙💛

@Gargron We got a ton of new signups recently too, so that is probably very accurate!
