Mastodon will break 8 million users by tomorrow!

7,925,283 accounts are active.

>2,000 new accounts are being made every hour.

That's 1 million new accounts being made since a week and a half ago.

@atomicpoet thank you lord maybe Stan twt wil finally move here
@schemmentislove @atomicpoet I honestly think Stan twitter will hold on to the end — remember Tumblr…
@atomicpoet @annamal That’ll be the weekend signups
@atomicpoet Wow, I can't believe that 10% of world population is already using Mastodon :0

@atomicpoet good , nothing warm my heart more at Christmas than to see a rich cheap selfish troll loose money and his business fail.
@atomicpoet When do we start gatekeeping?
@atomicpoet
And, if anyone needs to know, Twitter sucks.

@atomicpoet

Yeah but it will never break me!

@atomicpoet literally blew my mind when I realised there's almost 8 million accounts now...
@atomicpoet
I think a lot more people would want to join if they understood how Mastodon (Fediverse) actually worked and how it's not a Twitter Replacement.
@MrLee Now paradigms are tough to adjust towards.
@atomicpoet
It takes a "SHOCK" for them to happen.
@MrLee @atomicpoet damn i signed up _because_ it is Twitter replacement!

@atomicpoet

Instead of putting tweets here. Tweet this there.

@atomicpoet this is wild! That's only like 223 million until it beats twitter!
@achesser @atomicpoet I'm new to Mastodon as of... hmmm... about 5 minutes ago. Thinking about leaving Tw*tter (naughty word). If you follow me there, I would appreciate a follow here. I will do likewise of course!
@achesser @atomicpoet Based on level of interaction, once you discard bots and inactive users, I estimate Twitter has about the same number of actual active users as Mastodon.
@dalias @atomicpoet @achesser I can’t imagine the growing pains we would have to go through to scale up that much. But it could be just a matter of time.. few years..
@achesser @atomicpoet or if everyone migrates its half that
@atomicpoet I would not be surprised if there is a sizable exodus from the birdseed within the next couple of days.
@jeff @atomicpoet I’m sure many have already dipped their toe in but aren’t quite sure. Certain kinds of power user just want the likes and don’t care about the community so much. So they’ll just go wherever it’s busy.
@jeff @atomicpoet
Why so?
Wasn't last night's glorious celebration of free speech on the birdsite enough to convince everyone that that the platform is now in good safe hands under the glorious leader?

@atomicpoet
Awesome. Everyone, tip your servers.

@atomicpoet I checked my tweeter accounts after over a week to find only the lamest, bottom-feeder ads competing with right-wingnuts tilting at windmills for space in the musky echo-chamber. Withering on the vine is an apt analogy for sure. #Mastodon #RIPTwitter
@atomicpoet what is the prediction in performance order? nlogn? Better? Hopefully not worse??
Happy Indigo Day, Army!
@atomicpoet but the number of toots/hr is remaining roughly constant. Are newcomers posting their intro and leaving? Or is it a mistake?
@atomicpoet Paraphrasing John Perry Barlow, “The Internet perceives Elon Musk as damage and routes around it.”
@atomicpoet great Job ... Wish you all the best
@atomicpoet I’m glad I got in before the door buster event.
@atomicpoet One can only wonder why that is. But, apparently, many don't!😃
@atomicpoet I hope this community grows and flourishes. Feels like it could be one of the most enjoyable corners of the social media space.
@atomicpoet That's terrific! I'm enjoying Mastodon so much more than Twitter. The only thing is that the Share This buttons rarely include Mastodon as an option. That would make it even better.
@atomicpoet how many of those are accounts for the same people on different instances?
@atomicpoet The Big Pushback vs. The Huge Clusterfuck
👍❤️
@atomicpoet would love to know Twatter usage stats recently
@atomicpoet I really hope people leave twitter! I think the only allure ATP is it’s connected to business and celebrities.
@atomicpoet I wonder how many of them are bots
@atomicpoet Where's this graph coming from? Do you know whether there's some official statistics page for Mastodon? Thanks!
@atomicpoet
Wow, at least ive made 5 accs in different server so far..
@atomicpoet і ў той жа час, гэта вельмі павольна. Ў тві сядзіць сотні мільёнаў і гэтыя 8 мільёнаў - 2-3% ад Twi.
@atomicpoet I have just joined and it looks great from where I’m sitting! Does anyone know how to find accounts you subscribed to on Twitter that also have a presence here?
