@mastodonusercount there we go,
Welcome to the federation!
Its gonna be huge this time.
@mastodonusercount We might see 9Mio accounts by the end of the year!
@MortenTorten @mastodonusercount That's extremely likely: approx. 1,200 new users per hour are enough.
If there is a lot of offline message propagation during the holidays, even 10 million users are in reach.
@Talis @mastodonusercount before the spike we were below 1000 new users per hour and we don't know how long this one will continue. But I am also pretty confident.
@mastodonusercount Was literally just about to reference some of these numbers
@mastodonusercount @jerry server upgraded just in time, didn't you? 
@mastodonusercount Wow, that's bigger that I expected. Nice! Maybe we will get to 9mill by the end of the year. All depends on what the birdsite owner decides to do next I suppose. :)
@mastodonusercount is 5k hourly new users the biggest so far?

@bluehawk @mastodonusercount Where to start...
@robpomeroy @mastodonusercount it’s INSANE that I didn’t even have to look at the news to know who did what when how and where. I just had to look at a spike in a graph 😂

@bluehawk @mastodonusercount I was just saying to my wife the reason why this is newsworthy and so fascinating: We're watching someone burn through an incredible amount of money, fuelled (apparently) by narcissism and hubris. He's perfectly entitled to do so of course, but it's the scale of it that makes it... well, obscene.

Some wealthy people like to set fire to paper money, to prove their "indifference". Elon has taken this to the ultimate level.

#Twitter #Elon #narcissism

@mastodonusercount Is this wave being driven by the external link policy of the bird site?
@mastodonusercount I'd love to see this mapped against Elon's tweets 😂
@mastodonusercount Feels like another wave is kicking off again here...
@mastodonusercount another huge spike, what did Musk do now
@mastodonusercount I will light a candle for the sysadmins
@mastodonusercount Wow, that's a pretty big spike in user signups. 😮
Wow! 5,000 accounts created per hour is a new record since I've been here. 😳

Don't forget to support your local instance! Just a little $ will go a long way to helping maintain the growth that we are seeing here on #Mastodon #twittermigration
@mastodonusercount ah yes, the streisand effect in full force
@esm @mastodonusercount sadly the rise in users is already slowing down but it's awesome to see all these new people
@mastodonusercount Yep, going through a big surge -- that's why my connection kept crapping out...

@mastodonusercount

Ye, gads! That’s a heck of a spike!

@mastodonusercount just go ahead and merge with Post so we can be done with this, ok?
