The world now has 8 million Mastodon accounts and 8 billion people. So, as a Mastodon user, youโ€™re one in a thousand.
@conradhackett I knew I was special โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ท
@conradhackett but with mastodon one person can have multiple accounts and I bet there are people beside me who have four or fiveโ€ฆ

@nielsk @conradhackett

Exactly. I have 4, from having to switch servers quite a bit.

@nielsk @conradhackett You're absolutely correct.
However, this applies to all social media in general.
I know that people have multiple twitter or facebook accounts and youtube channels.
But yes, in the case of Mastodon and its spread out servers, I suspect that those values are even greater here.
There is no way to verify how many actualvpeople are behind all the accounts, but the numbers are still pretty amazing, right? ๐Ÿ˜Š
@nielsk @conradhackett Guess you're 4 in a thousand.
(One in 250)

Is anyone adding in/up all the other fediverse flavors?
@conradhackett It is an exclusive club
@conradhackett It's interesting. I think I'm in my second week, thanks to the work of Kris Nova and team. My feeds look a lot like what I always wanted social media to be. It feels more sincere, meaningful, and organic with a much better signal to noise ratio (with hardly any "noise" for me).
@conradhackett I didn't realize I was such a data-junkie until I started following you! Ah to be younger and starting over...I'd definitely get into demographics and data-visualization.
@noorkiramat @conradhackett It's great isn't it? ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘
@ZoraSaidSo @conradhackett I'm old enough to remember how thrilling it was back when Excel could convert my data to a pie chart!
@noorkiramat @conradhackett ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘.. I'm old enough to recall using MS DOS to design a rocket ship that moves up or down continuously on a commodore 64 computer ๐Ÿคฃ
@conradhackett so glad to be one of them!
@conradhackett Whats the source on this graph. curious to see how these numbers are calculated.

Small chancce of 10,000,000 by New Year's Eve. I would love if the countdowns co-incided.

@conradhackett
