@mastodonusercount @tchambers interesting that the rate of increase has slowed, but user numbers are still rising.

What was the #mastodon new user rate before #Musk bought #twitter?

@gpollara @mastodonusercount @tchambers If my memory serves correctly, it was around 66 per hour on average just before the takeover went through. Prior to the Twitter purchase going through there had been several waves that lasted maybe a week each.

@gpollara @mastodonusercount @tchambers All of those waves have since been dwarfed by the activity of the last month

@mathlover @mastodonusercount @tchambers wow that's quite the change! Thank you for that info.

Any data available for user engagement - i.e. To see if these new users are sustainably active, and not just registering and leaving?
