Reinhard Anton@Gargron My registration did not go smoothly at all so I assumed the crowds are storming the platform.😀
C for Charlie@Gargron babyman must secretly be working for Mastodon
toxtethogrady@Gargron I had blue-skied the conceit that the Fediverse could sign up a million new users a week, but now it looks like it's happening...

🇺🇳🖖
Icarosity@Gargron I see Pillowfort is trying to reach people leaving Twitter.
Jeri Dansky@nancywisser I had never heard of Pillowfort until you mentioned it!
@jeridansky They didn't start out as a Twitter replacement, more as an alternative to corporate social media in general. They're still actively changing and improving it. I don't use it but I follow their account on Tumblr in order to watch what they're doing.
Rage Against LeavesLets fng GOOO!
Travinatorisme@Gargron Twitter and Reddit I’m sure had a lot to do with it, nice to see more people migrating over.
Marcus@Gargron It’s an exciting time for sure!

Dale Nash@Gargron congrats!
@Gargron that's amazing news. Well deserved as well. I am a Newby, I joined today. Loving the app so far. A warm hello.

Maarten Pelgrim@Gargron Hey Eugen, maybe this is the wrong place to ask, but here goes. A lot of folks seem worried about mastodon.social federating with Meta's Activitypub platform somewhere in the future. Is there anything you can say to ease their minds?

Wigbert B 🎻🏛🎭🎤🗞🎥📚welcome to the #fediverse!

@Gargron Brilliant work at not being a dickhead!
zazaserty@Gargron Thanks spez, have fun over the frontpage of the internet.
Also huge thanks to the Musk, for ddosing the dumpster fire that is Twitter.
David Andrade@Gargron double whammy of Twitter and Reddit sucking on the 1st. Guess we’re all over here now
CanadaMan 🏳🌈 :3@Gargron with every bad dection twitter makes, the fediverse will grow further, and i doubt anyone will go back with that kind of track record
duser@Gargron
I hope the new users stick around. Will be a great stress test of the service.
Also, i hope this is new era is less toxic than the old. Fewer fights online and no dunking on randos. More of the positivity we have here already.

@Gargron i actually saw a tweet about you banning nazis and transphobes from this website personnally during the elon musk problems and made me realize how better this place is
@Gargron
I advocate #twittermigration where appropriate on the #birdsite. I love it here. Wish all my twitter peeps would come over.

Andrew Pappas@Gargron that’s what happens when you literally can’t read tweets. It can’t get more basic than that
Clarissa@Gargron Where did you get that info?
Wintermute420@Gargron this is my first post on mastodon, i am one of the 110k. its almost like some other site had some catastrophic change...
Hans van Zijst@Wintermute420 That catastrophic change wasn't the first, and I'm pretty sure it won't be the last either.
Steve@wintermute420 @Gargron Better tusk than musk! Enjoy a better place
Natalie@Gargron tbh, i don't know about that.
🇦🇺dave🇺🇦@Gargron I see twitter gone even more rubbish
cameronbosch 
@Gargron Well, I don't think ANYBODY is positive about THESE changes:

Jordan Lund@Gargron The one-two punch of Twitter and Reddit shooting themselves in the feet repeatedly.
@Gargron Its been reported He hasn't paid the Servers. And is shoveling the data for the app lord knows where...
Seemed like a good time to establish a better connection here.

artnetworx@Gargron Mastodon’s neighboring country, Twitter, just had a massive disaster. We’re hoards of refugees streaming across the border.
