@Gargron Very cool!

Maybe i will see #LesterHolt someday talking about Mastodon.

My meme will have come true and that would be both great and surreal.

@Gargron plus the people like me who signed up already in April and went dormant again after the deal was canceled and who are rejoining now.

@Gargron The numbers are even more impressive when you look at the contrast with the growth number for the days and weeks before.

@Gargron so the impact of the great #TwitterMigration on Twitter user numbers has been minimal.

@Gargron Make the number higher! I'm inviting academics here who want a platform for polite discourse.

@Gargron I am one of the new accounts. Hoping this could be a good platform to share my music and hopefully meet some cool people that actually like other people!

@Gargron @margrietoostveen fyi

@gargron The numbers gathered by this account are higher:

@Gargron Let’s make the #twitter move a massive one!

@Gargron That is like 0.01% of the daily active users of Twitter... Go!

@Gargron That's cool but not so much compared to the number of twitter users.

@Gargron Quite a number!

@Gargron where are they all!? Folks fleeing Twitter because it’s been co-opted by a narcissistic manchild seem like my kinda folks.

@Gargron How comprehensive is your data coverage, and how certain are you of that? Would you know about new single-user instances, or new users on previously single-user instances? With default or other configs?

@Gargron how do I decide which server is good for me ? Is there a server for singer&songwriter ? Still a bit confused here …

@Gargron It is impossible for me to upload images today.

@Gargron
The real number is how many are one-offs and how many actually stay and engage.
@luismbo

@Gargron thats great! Any idea why it is so slow? I mean, no immediate posts, searchs, etc
