UPDATE: Mastodon accounts: 7,133,516 (estimate)

* 5,451 in the last hour
* 238,181 in the last day
* 548,368 in the last week

After a crazy jump all day today, it looks like sign-up are finally calming down to ~5,000/hour. Which is still a stunning amount of new users.

We (the Fediverse) need lots of funding to onboard these new users so donate to the admins of your instance as well as the Mastodon project. https://www.patreon.com/mastodon

NOTE: Will be actively blocking all concern trolls who reply.

@atomicpoet I’m not entirely sure what concern-trolling is, but lil’ servers and their tireless admins need love, too. 😀

@quay Concern trolling is when people throw mud at an initiative under the guise of concern.

Example: "The Fediverse would be an amazing thing to build but corporations will just hijack it in the end."

What a great term.
Sort of like the creation end of doom scrolling.
