I just graphed Mastodon's MONTHLY ACTIVE USERS each day for the month of November.

At the end of October there were 496K active users, and at the end of November there are 2.6M -- that's 424% growth.

This is just ACTIVE users; there are millions more non-active accounts.

(For comparison, Twitter allegedly has 396.5M monthly active users, or about 152x the active userbase of Mastodon.)

@micahflee the answer is simple. Mastodon is a bit tricky at sign-up process, and many people just abandoned registration when they seen is not just NEXT > NEXT > NEXT process like on the others. Because of this Mastodon have a better active user, a better engagement rate, better content. Just the people who really want a change and are looking for something better is finishing the registration process on mastodon.

It should also be said: Mastodon is healthier!
I had only been on the bird site for four months, but in my case I wasn't finding much healthy engagement.
Plenty of rage and all the stupid tweets to build followers. *coffee before or after morning sex?*

I treasure the feed AND real interactions on Mastodon. Thank you for being here.
