Mastodon was UNDER a million members when Elron the lumpy bought twitter.

Last week it reached 10 million.

Today it is Eleven Million.

Mastodon is growing faster than a million and a half a month at the moment. Should pass twitter before fall.

Edited to fix my math.

@kevinrns Twatter has 450 million. It might take a bit longer.

I suppose youre right, I'd heard under 100 million, and doubted it wasn't 14% elon now.

@kevinrns I'm sure the percentage of bots is high, but remember, they have a lock on India. That's a lot of people.

@farbel

Too true, worrisome and true elsewhere. facebppk didn't just subvert the US election, Russia doesn't just have bots pushing Brexit.

@kevinrns There are 76.9 million in the US. 30 million in Europe. Maybe that's where your number came from. EDIT more like 100 milion in Europe overall.
