Gregory's ServerI don't want to just be posting about numbers like a clock, but the 2 million mark of monthly active users across the network is a pretty big deal. This is going big numbers! Shout out to all the server operators who are absorbing this wave.
 @Gargron  @Gargron Great to see that Mastodon is going big, now approaching more than 7 million users. @Gargron poste bitte so viele Zahlen, wie du möchtest. Das ist mehr als verdient! 🍾 @Gargron exciting times for the fediverse and the internet in general! Who said open source social networks can't succeed?  @Gargron happy about the wonderful success of Mastodon, but we strongly need to share best practices among servers to avoid this wave became something hurting ecosystems and communities (especially in terms of effective on boarding, self moderation and server acceptance of newcomers) @Gargron comparing with previous waves, the teams did an amazing job at keeping the systems responding. Well done for the 2M.  @Gargron Kudos and congratulations. I'm a bit confused with one thing, though: how does that relate to the 7 million accounts counted by @mastodonusercount ? Is it just that there are 5 million inactive accounts, or is there more to it than that? @Gargron Looks like it's growing about 8K users per hour. Lots of new instances popping up too @Gargron If there's anything we can do to support (besides putting money into various and sundry Patreon accounts), please share and boost. @Gargron It just amazes me how people here don't act like TRASH. Finally I found a good place to be in on the internet. @Gargron Yes, and thanks also to our server guardian @PaulaToThePeople who has been exceptional. @Gargron Best server operators ever! THANK YOU for what is undoubtedly very hard work, long hours…we new users so appreciate it! @Gargron Especially huge props for your work and starting this all, giving everyone a worthy alternative when we need it the most! Reminds me of the earlier internet days where it actually was enjoyable and not filled with ads trying to milk us all and compete for mindshare. Mastodon is social media made relaxing. @Gargron I want to both cheer for you....and give you a cup of tea or coffee for caffeine to keep up! Wow! Congratulations!  @Gargron I can barely handle the load on my server (1 user), but I love doing it! @Gargron awesome work by so many people who want to make this work especially #tootcommunity who have been brilliant. Numbers are amazing 🤩 @Gargron I'm just a newb here but early thank you to everyone who works to make this a fun, educational, inclusive, and functional space. @Gargron awesome and congrats! This feels like a good place to put this: https://twitter.com/rahaeli/status/1593819064161665024?t=K8JEIp6YRpGURA2UWchMDA&s=19 If you host an instance in the US, these are the extra steps you need to follow to make sure you are in compliance with US copyright law, including DMCA. Very important to protect yourself from personal liability! @Gargron I had to upgrade hardware twice so far. Ready for a third. :gaming_kirby5: @Gargron  @Gargron wow! Just a prime example of the "faith" folks have on that other platform. I joined in the first wave from there in April 2022 just in case. Glad I did ❤️ @Gargron Yeah, but it’s really interesting to see. And you should be proud of what you’ve built here.   @Gargron We might receive more over the holidays (which is awesome as it is scary! 😂). Any word on when the new update for iOS will launch‽ Also, do you need any beta testers‽  @Gargron last I heard Truth Social was only 500k DAU. That must feel amazing for you to have quadrupled ’em @Gargron The growth has been incredible. A week ago, most accounts had a handful of followers. This week many accounts already have thousands of followers. @Gargron Amazing stuff! Now we just need more supporters on Patreon! :D https://www.patreon.com/mastodon   @Gargron Absolutely worth a shout! The work all y'all have been doing to scale up on a moment's notice has been really impressive. @Gargron there are over 200 million twitter users currently. Hard to work out if Mastodon could survive that?  @Gargron I'm glad you are having success. This is a Good Social Media Website... I find that people read my posts and reply with worthy answers... #respect to all the "busy bees" that are busy working behind the scenes and contributing to the #fediverse digital system. Thanks for the sweet #honey - open-source software and administration. #twitter always left a bitter "taste" for me. Maybe that was due to some of the twits? Photo reference. The Conversation. 'Losing bees will sting more than just our taste for honey. https://theconversation.com/losing-bees-will-sting-more-than-just-our-taste-for-honey-42765 @Gargron Congrats for this milestone reached. Your hard work and a long term vision helps to bring sucess to this proyect. @Gargron this is so amazing and makes me so happy that people are finally discovering the benefits of #decentralized social media. Props to everyone who are making this #TwitterMigration possible! We need to get more quality servers listed on joinmastodon.org New users end up there and have a handful of live server to pick from which are not open to applications @Gargron I’m coming from Twitter hoping to have a voice, hoping to stand against the richest’s wills! #freemyvoice #riptwitter |
