@Gargron keep the good work

@Gargron

yes, good work✔️🧑‍🔧

@Gargron poste bitte so viele Zahlen, wie du möchtest. Das ist mehr als verdient! 🍾

@Gargron Great to see that Mastodon is going big, now approaching more than 7 million users.

@Gargron next you just need to get extra moderators, cause you folks are kinda infamous for not having enough of them

@Gargron Thank you to everyone involved . . . 👏👏👏

PS - Where can I buy some stock 😉

@Gargron exciting times for the fediverse and the internet in general! Who said open source social networks can't succeed?

@Gargron Oh don't worry we love numbers! 😍

@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 great job to everyone!

@Gargron yeah, I tipped my server. Lord knows they are going to need capacity.

@Gargron comparing with previous waves, the teams did an amazing job at keeping the systems responding. Well done for the 2M.

@Gargron does the overall user count affect the compute requirements of instances with less (one?) user?

@Gargron jiayou

@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
