@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
I am almost sure that tonight the numbers will increase again a lot. 😉

@Gargron Proud to be one of them. Any newcomer older than me (soon 72)?😈

@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! 🙈🥳🙈
Thank you for your hard work and keep it up!

@Gargron
I just inactivated my last twitter account. Jesus, it's really bad over there now. I mean REALLY bad. Remember the movie Gremlins, when the monsters party? It's like that. Free hate speech and the clear intention of letting hate and violence grow. This development is incredibly worrying.

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 💗

@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.

@Gargron 🎉

@Gargron Congrats! 🎉 Looking forward to the 1M MAU milestone.
