@Gargron Absolutely wonderful to hear. Perhaps this is the silver lining of Musk buying Twitter. @Gargron how long do you predict you will hold these users? What proportion do you think be here in 3 months? I suspect many will be returning to twitter shortly once the dopamine of rebelling runs dry  @Gargron I found my old table of Mastodon users/instances/statuses from a few years ago and updated it. Was surprised to see that the number of instances is much lower - over 5000 in 2019 vs. 1089 today. Is this what you see too?

@Gargron Thank you for supporting a free democratic exchange. We try to contribute with our initiaitve for #freesoftware.  @Gargron I keep imagining you, late at night, staring at the ceiling and thinking about that moment when the first 10M follower celeb tweets โI think Iโll try out Mastodonโฆโ What happens when Harry Styles notices this little world? ๐ฌ  @Gargron wow! Hopefully it carries on growing (and doesn't break your servers too much ๐ ) According to #TheGuardian, a follower shift in #Twitter is taking place right now: #rightwing followers rising, #leftwing followers quitting. I suspended my account today. Donโt like that #Musk #Smell โฆ  Got today's numbers! A 28,239 MAU increase in a single day. Now at 141K since Monday, and 176K since March. We've crossed over the 413K MAU mark on the Mastodon part of the fediverse!  @Gargron Excellent news! Is there any way to retrieve those figures (and also historic ones)? I know there's https://fedidb.org/software but they "just" provide a daily snapshot. @Gargron congrats I am new here and so far everything has been outstanding, great job. @Gargron Proud to be one of them. Any newcomer older than me (soon 72)?๐  @Gargron I keep checking the numbers on the about page on the instance I'm on. It is growing steadily. It is a very different experience here now compared to when I first made an account in 2019. This time I think I will stick around. I want an alternative to the bird app, even if I do stay on both. @gargron Brace yourself - #ZDFMagazin tonight might be add turbo boost to the numbers! ๐๐ฅณ๐ @Gargron I DMd some journalists and friends about Mastodon, cleared out my last posts and left for good. Such a relief. I am so incredibly thankful to have discovered this place. Thank you @Gargron ๐ @Gargron Congratulations Eugen. I know you have put so much time and effort into this and I'm so happy to see this current wave. |
