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.

Are there any statistics on Mastodon server shutdowns? Since the presumptive reason for exodus is end user preference for free service, it might be interesting to know how sustainable that model is in the long term.
