Check out Mastodon Migration's new partner account Rubicon @rubicon.

We've crossed the Rubicon. No going back.

Rubicon @rubicon boosts great #twittermigration stories and advice, and responds to #NewUser questions.

It's a pretty exciting and joyful place, with a sprinkling of retrospective bird talk mixed in.

What a day! Thank you #NewUsers for being patient and understanding what a strain Mastodon is under. The performance issues you experienced today are not normal. As you can see things are running more smoothly now.

We witnessed the incredible resilience of a distributed system. Admins all over the world responded swiftly, and will manage future growth challenges too. This is the future of social media.

These are incredible people. Support your instance if you can.

An Incredible Day In Internet History

It started with the Twitter lockout. 10,000 new users per hour. A QUARTER MILLION people migrated to Mastodon in one day. The servers struggled. Remarkably, admins all over the world built up capacity in real time. New users were patient. The system held.

It's running better now. There will be more hard days ahead, but people powered social media has arrived.

New data about the growth of the #fediverse. The number of new accounts is now on average around 100k per day after the peak in November 8th of 135k new users.
Tuesday update on the #mastodon growth. 135k (!!) users join yesterday. Also, I'm zooming out the plot to see the evolution in the number of new users through the last year. I'm going to need a logarithm scale pretty soon 😎
