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 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 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 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 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.
