@vaelfonia @Gargron A drop in the bucket actually. A lot for Mastodon, but lets not get ahead of ourselves here.

@Gargron Just wait until Trump and Infowars are reinstated on Twitter. I hope Mastodon can handle the load.

@Gargron Wow, this is huge. 💪

@Gargron I know it must have been a crazy day for you dealing with it but your work on it definitely helped.

Everything seems back to normal on mastodon.online.

@Gargron
Hi, Just joined this place...
Two questions:
1 - What's your opinion on russian fascist imperialistic state and russian war crimes in Ukraine?
2 - How many cats do you have?

@Gargron WOWWWW!!!

OMG!!

70.849

Es una pasada, en mas de 6 años que estoy por aquí jamas habia visto cosa igual.

El pajaro caerá al final o sino cae nos situaremos en una posicion para hablarle de tu a tu, el #fediverse y la descentralizacion se abren paso y nada ni nadie lo va a detener.

@Gargron the federated model perhaps facilitates scalability?

@Gargron Those numbers are numbers of the whole #fediverse, not just instances you manage, right?

@Gargron I truly hope we can keep up this momentum. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into this 🙏

@Gargron I’m happy to see how far Mastodon has come

@Gargron I miss Drükos. I used to retweet English threads and translate them above. Could you reconsider allowing Drükos?

@Gargron encouraging! I would say the sign up process seems to be a turn off for some people, based on what I’ve heard from friends

@Gargron today was like an epiphany for me when #mastodon was recommended to me by a friend. Spent a few hours here and realized that I will stay for a long time and will recommend it to everyone I know in #gamedev

Thanks for the opportunity and cool system! ❤️

@Gargron what does federated socia media mean

@Gargron Thank You for this space. 🌞✌🏾🌞

Danke, Eugen!

@Gargron Will it be an issue for the main instance, if most of this new users are joining through it? I have recognized many accounts from birdsite from my old account there and 90% are on mastodon.social.

@Gargron like it so far!

@Gargron Excited to see this community grow!

@Gargron Hope it grows even more

@Gargron , tja, da ist wohl ein Dank an Elon Musk fällig. 😂

@Gargron Yeah, it scales pretty well, at least on my side. Some other instances might have performance issues.

Over here it's like +1000 users or >50% more within the last 4 days, according to https://the-federation.info/node/nerdculture.de

Still room for more. CPUs are doing well, storage is ok, etc...
So, 👍 for the performance of Mastodon as a software! 🙂

@Gargron one thing that I m still not sure is, doesn't the distributed nature of the fediverse nurture opinion silos which further fragmetises society?

@Gargron could you give insight on the current scale of your operation, would be interesting to see how many App-Server, DBs and so on are working in sync here 🤓

@Gargron Congratulations on having the wherewithal to keep up with a once in a lifetime moment! Great job!

@Gargron man your work is awesome

@Gargron once network effect takes place, it's gonna shoot up

@Gargron really appreciate this transparency. any chance you have updated figures on growth since thursday?
