@Jslez and #mastodon has that feel from back in 08'. I love it!

@lfhansen @Jslez I was thinking the same. It sends me back to twitter being nerds shouting into the void about their breakfast before there was content™ and discourse®

@Jslez And look what happened to it. Wait... probably not the take away you meant.

@Jslez also joined twitter in 2008, kinda sad to have to leave but definitely enjoying the new beginning

@Jslez it looks like via today's stats that's its growing at a rate just shy of 1 million accounts per week (130k/day)

@Jslez that's active users, right? - last I saw it was approaching 4.5M total user accounts. Not sure how those break down - I suspect a lot of those dormant accounts are going to see use in the near future.

@Jslez maybe your instance... but the fediverse is ca. 6 millions users

@Jslez that number may be low

@Jslez I'm interested to see how the accounts I follow on Mastodon are different to the ones I followed there.
Show threadGeraldineNov 8, 2022
@Jslez I joined Twitter prior to that - which means that it was smaller than Mastodon is now.

@Jslez I was "late" to Twitter... Only created my account in 2009 (!)

@Jslez No - it’s grown a lot more… Mastodon is already at 6.5 million users…
Show threadJames SlezakNov 8, 2022
@Danielrembrandt there’s lots of ways to measure users. I should have clarified this is a MAU stat via @[email protected] https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/109300967725833789
Show threaddanielrembrandt.bsky.socialNov 8, 2022
@Jslez fair enough - thanks for clarifying. MAU will change quite a bit soon haha! Greta Thunberg will bring a million active users alone!
