@Gargron

Thanks elon

@Gargron nice but how? So many users :)

@Gargron congrats, also thank you.

@Gargron Thanks to the Elon Musk Huge promotion campaign :D

@Gargron Proud to be a part of!

@Gargron And even better, I haven't noticed any performance issues.

@Gargron Ah, that's why I've been getting so many Error 503 messages today!

Thanks for all your hard work keeping it going!

@Gargron Congratulations 👏

@Gargron Mastodon does feel very lively at the moment 👌

@Gargron

@Gargron Amazing.

@Gargron 🤔

@Gargron My registration did not go smoothly at all so I assumed the crowds are storming the platform.😀

@Gargron babyman must secretly be working for Mastodon

@Gargron I had blue-skied the conceit that the Fediverse could sign up a million new users a week, but now it looks like it's happening...

@Gargron

@Gargron I see Pillowfort is trying to reach people leaving Twitter.

@Gargron

Lets fng GOOO!

@Gargron Twitter and Reddit I’m sure had a lot to do with it, nice to see more people migrating over.

@Gargron It’s an exciting time for sure!

@Gargron 👏👏👏

@Gargron@mastodon.social I wish Mastodon wasn't the only option that is visible from the outside and Twitter migrants arrived to Akkomas/Calckeys/etc too
some of them leave soon because Mastodon lacks an option they need but other server types do support it (qrts mostly)

@Gargron “Rate-unlimited”

@Gargron
It's nice to know there are more smart people out there than I realized.

@Gargron congrats!

@Gargron that's amazing news. Well deserved as well. I am a Newby, I joined today. Loving the app so far. A warm hello.

@Gargron Hey Eugen, maybe this is the wrong place to ask, but here goes. A lot of folks seem worried about mastodon.social federating with Meta's Activitypub platform somewhere in the future. Is there anything you can say to ease their minds?

@Gargron I am one of the 110k, I hope to find the right conditions to close the twitter account

#Mastodon will prevail

@Gargron hell yea! With #twitterdown working as free marketing campaign hopefully the number will increase 10 fold

@Gargron Brilliant work at not being a dickhead!

@Gargron Believe me, I plan on being here.

@gargron Thanks spez, have fun over the frontpage of the internet.

Also huge thanks to the Musk, for ddosing the dumpster fire that is Twitter.

@Gargron double whammy of Twitter and Reddit sucking on the 1st. Guess we’re all over here now

@Gargron with every bad dection twitter makes, the fediverse will grow further, and i doubt anyone will go back with that kind of track record

@Gargron So Tuesday, maybe, for the first "Mastodon's User Increase Has Flatlined!!!" story in the tech press?

@Gargron
I hope the new users stick around. Will be a great stress test of the service.
Also, i hope this is new era is less toxic than the old. Fewer fights online and no dunking on randos. More of the positivity we have here already.

@Gargron i actually saw a tweet about you banning nazis and transphobes from this website personnally during the elon musk problems and made me realize how better this place is

@Gargron
I advocate #twittermigration where appropriate on the #birdsite. I love it here. Wish all my twitter peeps would come here. :mstdn:

@Gargron what was the recent news about mastodon user count becoming "sta..." Rate limit exceeded

@Gargron that’s what happens when you literally can’t read tweets. It can’t get more basic than that

@Gargron Where did you get that info?

@Gargron this is my first post on mastodon, i am one of the 110k. its almost like some other site had some catastrophic change...

@Gargron tbh, i don't know about that.

@Gargron insane. That's awesome. Thanks for all you do.

And thanks Elon for being an idiot. Lol

@Gargron I see twitter gone even more rubbish

@Gargron Well, I don't think ANYBODY is positive about THESE changes:

https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/1/23781198/twitter-daily-reading-limit-elon-musk-verified-paywall

@Gargron The one-two punch of Twitter and Reddit shooting themselves in the feet repeatedly.

@Gargron Its been reported He hasn't paid the Servers. And is shoveling the data for the app lord knows where...
Seemed like a good time to establish a better connection here.

@Gargron we love u

@Gargron

WELCOME immigrants and refugees!

@Gargron Türkler olarak geldik tabi 2 günde 110k artar dm ve ses odası da getirirsen 30milyon yine artar Gargron abi hih

@Gargron Mastodon’s neighboring country, Twitter, just had a massive disaster. We’re hoards of refugees streaming across the border.

@Gargron create a space equivalent, and it will grow further

@Gargron

🙄 Fickle visitors.......

@Gargron thanks Elon lol

@Gargron
Yaaay! More #Cats!! 😻

@Gargron it was a long time coming. It wasn't like I had anything to lose from twitter and now that browsing is punished I have no reason to be there.

@Gargron and I'm one of them!

@Gargron 🥳 :ablobcatrave:
#TwitterMigration

@Gargron Thanks.

@Gargron

@Gargron

Thank you 110K users for choosing Mastodon Airlines. A safer and friendlier way to travel the internet

@Gargron Congrats

@Gargron Thank @elonmusk

وااو ديل كلهم نزحو من تويتر😭😂

@Gargron vaaaaaaay. babat. Kələ kimisən a Eugen!

@Gargron @Mrfunkedude you know that was the EM effect

@Gargron That's not all. Yesterday I made many attempts to register. A little unprepared for such an influx. I feel that we were not expected here, but we came :-)

@Gargron sorry... That was me 😊

@Gargron We need Elon Musk to burn in hell, for :mastodon:!

@Gargron Welcome to them all.
Most of them, I suppose, have chosen to flee from that fata morgana called twitter.

@Gargron They mostly left Twitter, I think, for the uncontrolled mess that Melon Dusk is making of it. As well as breaking their own rules they normally ask every user to obey. It has become very erratic, filled with bugs, too. For example, tweets about Ukraine serve inexplainable deboosting..

@Gargron Seems like creators are pissed enough to jump, A lot of prominent ones gone to https://misskey.io and promoting their artwork. Closing to public view and asking for view per tweet is a big people mover.

@Gargron i am of them :)

@Gargron if musk contnues actively killing the platform, let's see

@Gargron I bit the bullet and deactivated my Twitter yesterday. It's such a mess. Hopefully i can get my fix here now. 🙂

@Gargron таков путь.

@Gargron that is poggers

@Gargron mostly due to elon's bad decision making coupled with reddit crumbling apart makes this a perfect time for mastodon

@Gargron i just join today i need get my head round it all

@Gargron
I was one of them 🙃

@Gargron deniz yarıldı

@Gargron the rate limit on Twitter is mind boggling

@Gargron it's not gonna retain. Definitely not a replacement for Reddit in any way.

Weil viel besser ist!? Hitler hatte auch genug Follower.

@Gargron

I just came from Twitter. Limit rate on Twitter forcing people to find an alternative.

maybe mastodon is the one!

@Gargron So did Bluesky's single instance. Which doubled its userbase 🙂

@Gargron really good

@Gargron i HATE to be the bearer of bad news... but thank elon for being a shitty ceo.......

@Gargron I just decided to give it a try then they bestially turn down Twitter. I think he bought it to kill it but with squeezing as much profit on exit as possible.

@Gargron
I hope admins don't come up with the idea to limit post views :)

@Gargron

How many not very active, rather just sit on the couch and scroll users?

https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/110646471616196383

@Gargron Heh I’m one of those new active users. Joined once before but now I’m here for good

@Gargron It's a shame that the amount is not spreading that evenly, which again causes server overload and bad UX. Plenty of "how to join Mastodon" guides out there, but they unfortunately just instruct to use one specific server and often don't plain the concept of the decentralised design.

@Gargron With Reddit doing its thing, and the blue bird pooping on its user base...

People move elsewhere.

@Gargron I was on Twit. Elon made me so mad I deleted it.

@Gargron I'm one of them 😄

@Gargron where can we find community stats for mastodon?

@Gargron everyone is migrating from Twitter
