@masklayer holy shit i think that's a story by itself

@sarahjeong Yeah I'm waiting for the next user count updates to see if they get it restored... Imagine if mastodon wasn't decentralized!

@sarahjeong @masklayer my understanding is that they're currently migrating to the cloud from the admin's home box

@way @sarahjeong Oh, good to know (how do you know?)

@masklayer @sarahjeong https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/2553375 I think that they explicitly wanted to dump the old user data? but that's sort of unexpected so I think they're trying to help migrate the SQL db anyhow

@sarahjeong @masklayer Arguably, the non-story-ness of it in the wider fediverse is _also_ a story :)

@sarahjeong i feel like a horse track commentator trying to describe mastodon on birdsite

mstdn.jp going from a few hundred to 40k to 1k is just ???

@sarahjeong A+ Have read again.

@sarahjeong a reader could find your numbers a bit ambiguous. For example, yes it might be true that mastodon had ~35k at the time of the previous article, but when comparing to the current numbers of the .jp instance, it helps to compare with numbers under same denominators/time points. e.g. reference. So, comparing .jp with .m *.social today would be against 47254. Dynamic values are confusing enough so pictures painted should be vivid! My thoughts. e.g. a 1850 USD vs 2017 USD
