Mastodawn

For the past 6 hours, there’s been 2,000+ Mastodon account creations per hour.

This hasn’t happened since December 2022.

@mmasnick predicted that Elon Musk’s new Twitter Blue policies would result in another Mastodon migration, and it looks like he’s right.

Once Twitter effectively becomes “pay to play”, Mastodon suddenly becomes more appealing.

Is that 4500 instances and less than 2500 posts an hour? I wonder how many instances are silent for long bouts of time.

Yes, I'm very dubious about these.
Publishing daily would at least even out the spikes, and not really drop anything useful.
