Update on the growth of #mastodon in the last months. After the big wave of new accounts on Nov 17th, the growth seems steady for the last week at around 50k new accounts/users per day. Only in the last couple of weeks, 1M new accounts were added. At this rhythm, #mastodon will get 1.5M accounts/users per month.
@estebanmoro It seems like the network effect increases the rate of growth after spikes.
I’d love see how Mastodon’s organic growth after spike events compares to Twitter’s organic growth in the early days after big event-driven spikes — what was it like before and after Oprah got on it and started talking it up, for example.
