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 Is there a number at which one starts to get worried? What's the limit counting all current existing servers online? Has anyone modeled the scaling potential? @Gargron I hope this isn't a dumb question, but people over on Twitter tell me they've set up accounts here, but even with their details, I can't find them using the search bar. Is it a server thing, because I'm in Australia and they are mostly in the States? Or is an overload issue that will hopefully sort itself? @Gargron keep up the incredible work. I’m excited for my team and to start looking at ways to help servers with moderation! @Gargron what is the best way to financially support the future technology and policy development, data privacy and IT security of Mastodon? I am sure you looked at the Wikimedia foundation as one model of many, right? Anyway, I am sure you are very busy and want to thank you for all your work! @Gargron Just made my #Patreon contribution to Mastodon! https://www.patreon.com/mastodon/ @Gargron please make Mastodon easier and more intuitive to deploy and configure for people who want to host their own without shared hosting. Also, please consider creating a directory of Mastodon installation and configuration experts offering their services for paid engagement. Thank you 🙏 @Gargron exceeding Twitter March 2008 numbers (200k/week active users) https://techcrunch.com/2008/04/29/end-of-speculation-the-real-twitter-usage-numbers/amp/   The server I am on is really struggling to keep up. I haven’t been able to enjoy Mastodon all day. Thank you for all you do, I am glad to have found a new home. I am a noob, and I am probably not using the platform as I should, but I am looking forward to learn. Keep up the good work *Toot Toot* 😊 @Gargron What happens if the server were on is taken offline or shuts down? Do we just move to another server and pick up where we left off with no loss to posts? @Gargron impressive indeed. Wanna boost your numbers? Give us built-in support for animated GIF search from Tenor. 😉 Two weeks ago, the jokes about the Bird App dying were the property of the nerdy and the terminally online. But now it seems like even many normies are feeling the winds of change. I've been using that app for a long time, and it's never felt like this. I hope Mastodon can wise up and grab at this opportunity, it's too golden. Keep scaling, stay lean and fresh, get the word out, and most importantly: make user experience sleeker and easier for newbs and a more general userbase.  @Gargron No, this thing is really going to grow quickly. It's going well so far! What do you have planned for the future? @Gargron Thank you so much.. I'm trying to remind people to donate where they can to help absorb costs! Thank you to all the server admins! So appreciated!!  @Gargron You are all legends and thank you for being so welcoming given this invasion. @Gargron It would be nice to be able to join mastodon social or cf. I'm new. Just trying to figure stuff out. @Gargron @Gargron Thank you for such a wonderfully created backbone that allows so much creativity. @Gargron it will most likely grow exponentially now that a man from Florida was reinstated. @Gargron that is a very impressive number. I think that will sky-rocket in the next few weeks. @Gargron Thanks for absorbing all of us who left the bird and are finding a receptive community here. @Gargron @Gargron my leaving declaration! @elonmusk @mrjamesob Enough! My final tweet! Twitter is the amplification of stupidity and ignorance. Democracy is not about the amplification of ignorance! It is about implementation of our highest ideals. Mark my words Twitter’s stupidity will lead to violence! Over and out!

@Gargron how do we find out who our server moderator is so we can support our moderator and instance? @Gargron @Gargron thanks to you all for making it work with some many of us joining. It feels a lot friendlier here. |
@Gargron amazing results!
