@mastodonusercount There it is! 8 million! I hope we get to 10 million by the end of the month.
@dennis_jernberg @mastodonusercount we have to ask the biggest sponsor elon musk what he plans next for twitter
@Sebastian
@dennis_jernberg @mastodonusercount probably to throw more money in the fire and then give more ultimatums to his remaining employees when the ashes don't form a diamond
@Sebastian @dennis_jernberg @mastodonusercount Sink it. He will sink it. Then self implode is my opinion.
Pretty sure he told us that the day he walked in with a sink.
I stand by my original opinion. It should have been a toilet.
Mastodon is the new happy place. Glad to be here.

Všechno nejlepší @mastodon k 8 milionům uživatelů!
@Michael_Nexus @mastodonusercount @nolog @archos tak já mám z výkumných důvodů účtů za různých místech celkem asi 7, ale když započítám lidi, co o nás vědí, ale zatím jsou líní, tak to číslo zní realisticky

Currently 8m #accounts, just shy of 400k #users/day. #Twitter has something like 450m active users.

If #Mastodon kept that 5% #growth, compounded weekly, it would catch up with #Twitter in something like 1.5–2 years. Probably an insane #model, though.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, if #Mastodon kept a constant 400k/week growth, it would catch up to #Twitter in 20+ years.

If #Elon keeps actively blasting holes in his #platform, I have no idea what happens next.

@mastodonusercount

Accounts increase and activity stays ?

I think these Accounts are only „Placeholders“, … this is not a real growth …

@mastodonusercount 8 Millionen. Oder anders ausgedrückt: So gross wie die Schweiz!

@mastodonusercount

Eight. Million.Users.  

🍾 Congrats @Gargron -

🍾 Congrats @mastoadmins

🍾 Congrats to everyone who built out the Web Standards this is built on.

🔥 Let's get to 10 Million by New Years! 🔥

#TwitterMigration

@mastodonusercount
@Erdrandbewohner
Da hast du sie, dein vorausgesagten 8M

@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?

@gpollara @tchambers yup...

@gpollara @tchambers basically every spike (and there are many, but they're mostly smaller 300-500/hr spikes) coincides with musk doing/saying some stupid shit, or his various pull-out attempts getting denied, or leaks/articles that make him look bad lol until he's forced to close the deal and everything goes truly buck wild

i mean. they gained 500k users over that *entire* 6 month acquisition saga. now they're gaining 500k/week :o

@Lustyjustice @tchambers I guess the thing is to determine where the inflexion point is, whereby mastodon user uptake stays high and independent of Musk idiosyncracies.

Re: 8 Million users on Mastodon @mastodonusercount
Personally I don’t see success in growth but quality of interactions instead. It’s great if both grow at the same time but that’s also pretty unlikely. The more the #Fediverse grows the more it will inevitably become like #Twitter. That’s why I will always prefer highly curated instances over those only looking at getting everyone “onboard”.

Many ≠ Good (in most cases).

@mastodonusercount this graph appears to be projecting a linear increase that is not supported by the underlying data points. Ie it's lying on its face
@mastodonusercount Congrats on passing 8M users! 1M new users just in the past 2 weeks!

@mastodonusercount

Lokakuussa 2016 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastodon_(software)) julkaistu Mastodon meni
…nollasta kuuteen miljoonaan käyttäjään kuudessa vuodessa,
…kuudesta miljoonasta seitsemään miljoonaan käyttäjään 12 päivässä
…ja seitsemästä miljoonasta kahdeksaan miljoonaan käyttäjään 15 päivässä.

@mastodonusercount basically filling up a stadium every day for a month straight.

Who does Mastodon think they are, #TaylorSwift?

@mastodonusercount
We passed the 8M users !! 🥳🥳
