Eugen RochkoMastodon went from 1.2M active users last week to 1.8M active users this week. That's not 70M users overnight, but it's something! 🙂
Lori@Gargron Sick little party going on here. TY.
Serion@Gargron
50٪ increase... not too shabby

Jacob Schumer@Gargron and those 1.8m will soon be able to follow any of those 70m (hopefully)
Matunos@jacobschumer @Gargron but how many will want to?

Because there are some good people joining up with interesting things to say but....
No doubt Million of dickheads too, who are not well moderated, so they will be defederated.

Raphael@jacobschumer @Gargron and the other way around
Openroomxyz@jacobschumer @Gargron that would be cool

Michael Gemar@Gargron And it's not really a contest, since here there are no investors or advertisers to please with huge continual growth.
@michaelgemar @Gargron yea how is the whole thing paid ?
emma515@michaelgemar @Gargron Very true. We can find what we like here.
Folker@michaelgemar @Gargron A growing open social network community is excellent, also (especially) without investors and advertisers.
Larry Anderson 🇺🇳🇪🇺🇬🇱🇩🇰🇨🇦@Gargron It's not quantity, but quality that matters. 😉
Nighteous@Gargron Ayee its progress! If people can join and leave freely then its a better platform than being chained to one
tikistitch⁷ has movedAnd not a single Kardashian among them, which is one of the things I appreciate about this place. ❤️

muz@Gargron everyone wants a piece of mastodon. crawling to it like a pack of rats. it'd be enough make you sick if not for the truth that they deserve to be force-fed short form text posts. theyre that type of people

johanna, at the cafe counter@Gargron look, 1.8 million or 1.2 million even is enough to keep the species alive after the 70 million just mutually annihilate. We’re good. 🤣
Aday@Gargron quality, not quantity! I love the quality of interactions here and people’s attitude. Keep up the good work and congratulations! 🎉

WndlB@Gargron You and Mark can both thank Elon.

Romolo Sorrentino@Gargron less people on ̶P̶a̶r̶l̶e̶r̶ I mean Twitter is always good for the world.
@rosorrentino @Gargron Yea liberation from the free speech dictator
Marilyn Jean@Gargron Team Eugen! 💙
Dennis Jernberg@Gargron That's just 70M users signed up. I'm sure a *very* low percentage of those signed up will stay active after the initial sugar rush, especially once the non-celebrities/influencers discover how invisible they are there (it's worse in that respect than Twitter ever was).
It's just plain better here in the Fediverse.
Cam@dennis_jernberg @Gargron I only signed up, using a discarded Instagram account, to see what it was like. I've already stopped using it so that makes it 69,999,999 😁
@bitflipped I bet you're far from alone. @Gargron
@dennis_jernberg @Gargron my highly detailed review https://mastodon.world/@bitflipped/110675422933661512
Cameron (@bitflipped@mastodon.world)
Fired up #Threads and scrolled for a few minutes through the content that was placed in my timeline by The Almighty Algorithm. Gotta say, if #Meta were going for a first impression of "Wow I care about literally none of this inane bullshit" then they nailed it.
Just JenE@openroomxyz @dennis_jernberg @Gargron It seems very "Follow these influential/famous people" based rather than interest based.
I'm not interested in that kind of place. The "Global Town Hall" is a myth on any social network, it's going to end up more like a "Drunken brawl in the town square".
@bitflipped @dennis_jernberg @Gargron yea likeminded like to hangout with likeminded explaining from scratch the basic things over and over again and arguing is way to exhausting bubbles forming is an emergent phenomena that is a result of communication and collaboration optimizations
Kristoffer Lawson@Gargron and that’s just the actives. Way more have registered (over 13M, if @mastodonusercount can be trusted). Not all of those 70M will remain active there.
Mark W@Gargron For a network that isn’t being actively promoted by billionaires, this isn’t bad. Thank you for all your hard work.
Hans van Zijst@Eugen Rochko Wow, that's a 50% increase, that's very nice indeed!
Tim Chambers@Gargron Fediverse hive mind: Check my tired-brain main: a 50% increase?
realcaseyrollins ✝️@tchambers @Gargron Holy frick how did I miss this, you’re right

Slade Watkins@Gargron I feel like Threads and Mastodon have two different targets in a way. Remember that their goal is to integrate with everyone through ActivityPub, so we all win in the end.
And be proud of the work y'all are doing, too!
Eric@Gargron Quality > Quantity 😼
Hugh Ferguson@Gargron let's not forget that Thread's meteoric rise in the "ratings" was partially due to everyone on Instagram automagically having an account on Threads which counted to the "total"

Matthew B@Gargron I am brand new here!
