@Gargron Cool stats! Thanks for sharing. I wonder if other fediverse applications have also seen a bump...

@Gargron awesome.

@Gargron Are you actually able to count new users from every instance or only from huge/popular ones?

@Gargron wow! Almost 10% here today 🤔

@Gargron are those numbers only for large, well-known instances? Since this bot here has different numbers, I wonder where those come from: https://bitcoinhackers.org/@mastodonusercount/109247909733569341

I got asked out on a video interview for a TV channel today and dressed up really nicely, but I don't think the footage was used in the end. 🥲

@Gargron@mastodon.social Cool story, bro.

@Gargron Nice!

@Gargron This time it all feels a little different. I see more people starting to acknowledge that the corporate social media model is actually faltering, and is unsustainable. It's up to us to support more ethical technologies and smaller communities that protect the interests of regular people.

@Gargron do you also tell them that those number are most probably quite inaccurate by the nature of how the Fediverse works?

@Gargron welcome y’all!

@Gargron mira @pablonegri @csnegri

@Gargron congrats! I left Twitter well before the rush and well before Mr. Smarmy Musk purchased it. Definitely, prefer Mastodon. Thank you.

@Gargron Love it! let the Mass migration continue! Eventually Mastodon will become the norm for social media!

@Gargron THAT'S AMAZING!! HI EVERYONE, PLEASED TO MEET YOU! 😆 (They probably won't see this but still hello!)

@Gargron I’m amazed it’s not much higher. I was kicked off twtr within 8 hours of the announcement and I didn’t say anything I hadnt said for 6 years prior.

@Gargron

Just, if someone should be interested...

I collect statistics data about a little bit more than 200 #Mastodon instances currently (most of them using the german language) on mastodonien.de

Some statistics getting tootet via @mastodonien

@Gargron awesome!

@gargron so how long will it last until there is no one on T. anymore?

@Gargron keep going in. Nice Work. Thanks a Lot!

@Gargron cool 😘

@Gargron New here. Ideas to help grow my followers? Recommendations?

@Gargron That's awesome! Glad to be one of the 10k!

@Gargron Love it. Here for it.

@Gargron I can't tell if this is good or bad. What is it typically?

@Gargron thank you for the visibility. good luck!

@Gargron +1

@Gargron yeah, I hope this reaches the critical mass soon.

@Gargron thanks for sharing! What’s a typical week look like?

@Gargron I’m new by about 1 hour. Thanks for welcoming ex-Twitter users with open toots.🙂 #TwitterMigration

@Gargron even I joined here. Thank you for having this.

@Gargron Man, make sure to see this as an accomplishment. I mean really enjoy the moment. Thank you.

@Gargron that's promising.

@Gargron Damn, thats alot of people!

@Gargron Very cool!

Maybe i will see #LesterHolt someday talking about Mastodon.

My meme will have come true and that would be both great and surreal.

@Gargron plus the people like me who signed up already in April and went dormant again after the deal was canceled and who are rejoining now.

@Gargron The numbers are even more impressive when you look at the contrast with the growth number for the days and weeks before.

@Gargron so the impact of the great #TwitterMigration on Twitter user numbers has been minimal.

@Gargron Make the number higher! I'm inviting academics here who want a platform for polite discourse.

@Gargron @margrietoostveen fyi

@gargron The numbers gathered by this account are higher:

https://bitcoinhackers.org/@mastodonusercount

@Gargron +1😀

@Gargron That is like 0.01% of the daily active users of Twitter... Go!

@Gargron That's cool but not so much compared to the number of twitter users.

Update: 49,215 new users across different Mastodon servers since yesterday. Probably a lot of them are actually from yesterday. My crawler only runs once a day so I get a bit of a delayed view of things.

@Gargron where are they all!? Folks fleeing Twitter because it’s been co-opted by a narcissistic manchild seem like my kinda folks.

@Gargron How comprehensive is your data coverage, and how certain are you of that? Would you know about new single-user instances, or new users on previously single-user instances? With default or other configs?

@Gargron how do I decide which server is good for me ? Is there a server for singer&songwriter ? Still a bit confused here …

@Gargron It is impossible for me to upload images today.

@Gargron
The real number is how many are one-offs and how many actually stay and engage.
@luismbo

@Gargron thats great! Any idea why it is so slow? I mean, no immediate posts, searchs, etc

@Gargron thats great but do you have any idea why it is so slow? I tried ten times to reply your post but it was impossible :( “publication error”

@Gargron so do you have any plan to stop the fash muskbros from following us here? How would moderation work with 10 times more active users? With 100 times? 1000 times?

@Gargron @janboehm might be a reason

@Gargron today was a good day for me when I finally made my account. I feel nothing but joy. This app gives me joy. :blobcataww:

@Gargron will the influx of new users be able to be managed? If Twitter goes the way a lot of people fear this place could get kinda busy real fast and I think we all want this place to be welcoming and pleasant.

@Gargron Hello, a round of applause for your hard work! I´m looking for info on where to donate?

@Gargron wow!

Oh cool @Gargron !
