Four days ago: huh this place is empty. Ooh I can follow three parked accounts

Yersterday morning: maybe 10% or so of the people I follow regularly on the bird site are here

Now: huh think it's fully half or more are here

It's a flood peeps. Never thought I'd see anything like it

@Pwnallthethings I hope the momentum keeps up! I'd be interested to see the activity in a month or so.

@thewrightmatt @Pwnallthethings I had the same thought but I could see it having this initial burst of enthusiasm followed by a lot of people dropping out when they can't figure it out, followed by another burst of enthusiasm as the word spreads about how to get the most out of it.

@tom4okstate @thewrightmatt I initially thought so too, but then the bird site is going through a car crash, and it'll not stop car crashing for a while I suspect. By the time it firesales off, suspect a lot of the key folks in networks there will have settled elsewhere

@Pwnallthethings @thewrightmatt one thing appears certain at this point, Musk isn't going to stop giving people ample reason to leave or stay gone if they've already left.
