I haven't been following it very closely but looks like Mastodon's monthly active user count climbed back up to 2.1M over the last couple of weeks. Not far off from our last peak!

@Gargron I lost all contacts to mastodon.social after the server upgrade on det.social /o\ There is no way to find out, why this happened and how to prevent it, isnt it? (Or to restore it?)

@Gargron

Is that 2.1 across all instances or your specific instance?

@Gargron this place is pretty great.

I have to admit, I feel like if you’ve seen one cave you’ve seen them all

@Gargron Those small Swiss mountain towns always amazed us when we lived in Basel. Who lives there over 100’s of years? How do you find someone else who wants that lonely lifestyle when the current owners die? 🙁

I'm excited for the next major release of Mastodon (4.2) that's coming soon. Half a year of UX improvements (that of course mastodon.social users are already benefiting from). More details to follow.

@Gargron is that possible when user login they can just use account name or user name, not only email? This for security and privacy reason as well, thank you

Following the example of the German government and the European Commission, the government of the Netherlands is now running their own Mastodon server! No middlemen between them and their constituents! Welcome @minbzk!

@Gargron I think those institutions will start a constructive trend. Social media is going through a major transition. Public awareness of the issues appears to be rather low. Most people may not care about unhealthy social media side effects. Or they cannot envision a healthy version.

@Gargron @minbzk this is so awesome to see. Well done Masotdon team! Free communication that is not controlled by evil American corporations will become a reality everywhere!

Keep in mind we're going to do some database maintenance in about 30 minutes, which may involve some downtime. You can always check status.mastodon.social to get the latest information.

@Gargron What's great is that I was in the process of replying and noticed there was an error, but all the other instances are up, hello!

Peque

@Gargron yep, I figured out just a moment ago. It's nice to see why is mastodon.social down :BlobHajMlem:

@Gargron thank you for the heads up and the status page post!

@Gargron why hasn’t Elon challenged you to a cage fight yet?
I feel that we as a community are being left out.

I called this massage move. 😂

My mum and I, we had 5 cats once. They really loved to do this to just about everything even us, specially when we're not paying attention to their mew mew 😂

Mastodon went from 1.2M active users last week to 1.8M active users this week. That's not 70M users overnight, but it's something! 🙂

Eugen Rochko

So, weekend tally: The number of active users across Mastodon rose by 294K, and posting activity roughly tripled. Lots of new sign-ups, but also many returning users. Fun times!

@Gargron Hi, Eugen. I have an idea how you can make money and at the same time make everybody happy (the total opposite of what Musk is doing). How can I write to you privately?

@Gargron It seems an interesting time to post, even for those of us who were already long firmly in the Fediversian camp.

Eugen Rochko

Thank you to Renaud, Tim, and Claire for coming to help with the infrastructure despite it being Sunday! #hugops

I would prefer it if Elon Musk was destroying his site during the work week. This isn't the first time.

I've been paying to use NewsBlur ever since, and getting my monies worth out of it.

@Gargron Hello. Will there be a "translation" function in the Mastodon app for android in the near future?

Eugen Rochko

New Mastodon for Android release coming next week! Currently in internal testing. New profiles, new settings, new search, and more!

@Gargron Looking forward to the update with excitement. I've tried others, but I keep coming back to Mastodon app. Again & again. Thanks for the awesome job.
