[This post contains an error in the number of Twitter users. Check the new one here: https://mastodon.social/@estebanmoro/109302968305953555 ] Something big is happening in Mastodon over the weekend. Here is my graph, updated. Right now Mastodon is growing ~3 times faster than Twitter.

@estebanmoro While this sure is promising, the primary reason with the sudden upsurge on Mastodon is the moral ambiguity people have with the whole Twitter layoff and Twitter Blue situation.
And one thing that we know about moral ambiguities is that, it doesn’t last long compared to ‘habit’.
So once the dust settles, people may go back to their place of comfort, unless they get something truly extraordinary that makes them leaving Mastodon, difficult.

P.S. Just an opinion!

@ankksharma thanks for you opinion. Only time will tell. But if a critical mass of people gets here it will be difficult to not call this platform “home”
@estebanmoro Absolutely, and I wish this could be the beginning of something great.
Also, your hope and optimism here is infectious!
