It’s worth pointing out that the Fediverse, itself, reached 10 million accounts long, long ago. At least, according to the-federation.info.
As well, what’s provided by @mastodonusercount is just one count of many.
Nevertheless, I’m celebrating this because it is one count that I track, and it updates hourly.

@atomicpoet @mastodonusercount according to the site you link to, that's 11 million users - so not really that long ago, if that means Mastodon is 10/11 of the Fediverse and growing much faster than all other bits... but also depends on if you can extricate real human users from bots, which are definitely in greater numbers on Mastodon and a big part of the recent growth.

Frank Verhoeven@noodlejetski @atomicpoet Hey, you can create your own instance and then, lock the whole world out. Best of both worlds!

Adam Dalliance@atomicpoet Why, if this rate of exponential growth continues some day soon there will be more mastodon accounts than there are people on earth!

That's more real users than the bird-site probably has...and no advertising!

Matthias@atomicpoet Here are just 6.8 millions measured.
I wonder what the difference in collecting the metrics data and creating the dashboards is.
@marix1 I don’t trust fediverse.observer because they get so many counts wrong. For example, Akkoma—which didn’t even exist two years ago.
And their counts with Misskey are waaaay off.
