@Gargron I think that would be very impressive under normal circumstances. But with dozens of millions of Twitter users that all have a need a home these numbers feel low to me.
Of course Mastodon is not for every Twitter user and it really shouldn't appeal to them.
But anyone that wants to have a sincere conversations about a topic that matters to them should be lured to join.
Mastodon needs more critical mass quickly - otherwise many users might wonder off again.
Best of luck!!!!!
