@mastodonusercount Wonder if the hand drop off is due to it being a Friday and people being elsewhere or if the mass exodus is petering out.

Guess we'll see on Monday.

Don't forget that it's night in much of the US and in all of Europe

@mathlover @zamu @mastodonusercount Not sure if related, but a lot of Brazilians stopped entering on Mastodon and is now on Kooapp.com sadly.
Even a lot of famous people.

@zamu @mastodonusercount
Koo is selling itself as a Twitter substitute in Nigeria

The Indian microblogging app has built a partisan audience in India by supporting government restrictions on social platforms.

@mathlover @zamu @mastodonusercount Yeah, it's a pretty complicated platform and people are entering without knowing properly...

This is happening because Koo in Brazil means "ass", so people entered because of the memes lol

@vitor @zamu @mastodonusercount Interesting.
I wonder how viable Koo will be in Brazil in the long term. Most of Koo's userbase seems to be in India, and while I can't find records of other places, apparently their move into Nigeria wasn't as overwhelmingly successful as one would think in terms of userbase gained.

@mathlover @zamu @mastodonusercount I don't think it will be successful, the posts there are just people making fun of the name hahaahah
