@Gargron pretty cool - I'm one of them!

@Gargron that's really just me and my ALTs, I use them to upvote my comments. Sorry for the misunderstanding! 😊

@Gargron completely awesome

@Gargron Congrats 👏 🎉

@Gargron Well, Elon did say he would boost the users. He just got the wrong platform.

@Gargron 😳🥳

@Gargron please do not refer to accounts as people. We all know there are a lot of bots (bridges) automatically created and we don‘t want to create false impressions / statistics

@Gargron must be overwhelming as well as exciting and daunting

@Gargron I thought it would have been more than that really across all instances……

@Gargron All of the admins on all of the instances are doing a fantastic job! You all are amazing.

@Gargron awesome growth! Keep it coming

@Gargron Where is these stats available?

@Gargron momentum

@Gargron We're here, we're tweeter, get used to it ;-)

@Gargron Incredible. Thank you for all of your work on it!

@Gargron This is SUCH great news. And to think that just this September you would hardly see new issues in the GitHub repo and I was cribbing about how the image in DigitalOcean isn’t updated 😁 Kudos to you and the maintainers for the hard work - It has paid off and been rewarded.

@Gargron how does one get verified here?

@Gargron a good chunk of them are in Ireland

@Gargron incredible! Is that accounts, or uniques?

@Gargron I'm one of the new ones! If anyone has any hints to aid my learning curve let me know!

@Gargron signup/login is weird. Why do I have to select a server? Just let me signup

@Gargron good

@Gargron glad to be one of them!

@Gargron congratulations!!

@Gargron wow! I’m one of the newbies!

@Gargron it is a stampeeeeeeeeeeede

@Gargron use ip address because some of us have multiple accounts?

@Gargron whats the current total?

@Gargron even single ips can have multiple people in the house so they may be dif. don't know how you figure this out I have 4 accounts from one ip not trying to make a mess but confused setting up and now they all seem to work so well I can't choose.

@Gargron this is because of many users left Twitter and came here..
XD

@Gargron @wubsnet Oops! 😂

@Gargron still trying to figure it ou.

@Gargron any thoughts on implementing a “lists” like feature on #Mastodon ?

@Gargron https://makkahnewspaper.com/article/1576291

@Gargron I’m new here :blobcatdance: :ablobwave:

@Gargron It's a wonderful system -- thank you!

@Gargron and how many instances ?
By the way where do you find these figures ?

@Gargron I’m new, I came from hell (Twitter)

@Gargron wow

@Gargron oh boy. It's happening. Glad I made the first wave

@Gargron And after a week, still no trolls to contend with. 👍👍👍

@Gargron thank you for creating this safe haven!

@Gargron It’s a great creation/framework, thank you! 🎉

@Gargron and I just joined today 💀💀 :catjam: :catjam: :catjam: :catjam:

@Gargron winning! 🤓

@Gargron wow! congratulations

@Gargron awesome creation! I'm still settling in, but pretty great so far 👌🏻

@Gargron The collective work to accommodate so many new users in such a short time is both awe-inspiring and deeply encouraging about the future of the #Fediverse. Thanks so much to you and all who work on #Mastodon.

We see your work. We value it.

Yes, we've got lessons to learn, improvements to make, inclusivity to improve, and systems to strengthen, but we're off to a good start. I'm excited!

@Gargron Brilliant! Seen this article in the @TheGuardian ?

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/nov/12/joining-the-herd-whats-it-like-moving-from-twitter-to-mastodon

@Gargron how do I follow people on other places?

@Gargron Bless you for the initial idea and all your work. I don’t know how you guys are still sane…

@Gargron

@Gargron thanks for this place ✨

@Gargron get ready to rock and roll because everybody on @Twitter is talking about fleeing to this “sanctuary.” Take @kathygriffin as a textbook example. She had 2M followers there, was bullied by its billionaire, and fled here, and almost 50K of her followers have made the journey from the #Twitterverse to the #Fediverse. Almost 2M left to go. The American Twitter billionaire is threatening to buy you out from his official account here! American billionaires think everything is for sale.

@Gargron Is it possible to livestream via RTMP to Mastodon? At present I livestream music performances to YouTube, Facebook and Twitter and have recently opened a Mastodon account and would like to livestream my music performances here.

@Gargron damn

@Gargron

And I are one of them :)

#GiveMuskTheBird

@Gargron That's a LOT of eyeballs. I bet some of the ad peddlers are salivating and racking their brain on how to get to them.

@Gargron Wow, that’s amazing!

@Gargron so far so good!

@Gargron daft question. miss the isntant searchable gif (meme) insert in message button. possible in future? or have i just missed it? love your place btw….

@Gargron I’m one. 😎

@Gargron Big gain for the Free Software Community.

@Gargron I never entered the Twitter Train… hope this platform will allow not profit dedicated discussions and opinions for decades!

@Gargron And it will keep going up cuz #Twitter is only good for trolling these days.

@Gargron where are those stats?? I need to see the growth!!!!

@Gargron That's enough. Shut the rest out please 😂

@Gargron wow,! Outstanding

@Gargron yep. I’m one of them. Hello, new (to me) place.

@Gargron Crazy talk!

I'm a newbie, having fun exploring here.

@Gargron we deed it

@Gargron let's keep it going! About to run my own personal instance. Hope we see a lot more people running personal instances!

@Gargron How freaking awesome! 💪

@Gargron I’m new here, trying to figure out how it works

@Gargron So is the project gonna get a legitimate governance model now?

@Gargron Wow, do you know offhand what that growth is expressed as a percentage? I'm guessing around 20%?

@Gargron Glad to be here!

@Gargron People just want to shout into the void, y'know?

All we need is to get companies and orgs to use this as a customer service/quick notification space and we're golden.

@Gargron 😳

@Gargron damn that's impressive stats

@Gargron No surprise. Everyone under the sun is talking about Mastodon all of a sudden. Great to see!

@Gargron A lot of them may end up going back to Twitter after they're done having their knee-jerk reaction. But I'm hoping that a lot of them will like what they've seen and decide to stay. Twitter feels like standing in a football stadium looking for people to play D&D with you, Mastodon feels like a side room at a good bar where all your friends can just talk freely about whatever they want.

@Gargron Wow, 4 days ago there was just under half a million.

@Gargron Cool! Can all the servers handle this sudden increase in traffic?

@Gargron I’m def enjoying the “small town” vibe

@Gargron I left Twitter on Elon’s first day. I feel like I’m wandering in a Mastodon maze. Blind & wobbly, but hopeful.

@Gargron I am one of the recent converts. I just hope we don’t ruin it. The culture is so much more peaceful here.

@Gargron Heh, I wonder why....

@Gargron fantastic achievement, thank you for all the hard work !

@Gargron That is very impressive. There have certainly been some signs of strain, but still not quite like the #failwhale hard (but funny) error page.

@Gargron 🎉

@Gargron
Twitter exodus

@Gargron fuck Twitter.

@Gargron Wow!

@Gargron How badly overloaded is mastodon.social? Just wondering if I really should be migrating to a different instance, or if my future on this one is safe.

I'm only on this one because back when I started using this, it was the main server.

@Gargron 👍

@Gargron do you do analysis of hashtags? As a new member I have trouble understanding what the best hashtags are to follow a certain topic made of many overlapping tags.

@Gargron Epic. This for all networks or just mastodon.social?

@Gargron hell yeah
