@mastodonusercount @tchambers interesting that the rate of increase has slowed, but user numbers are still rising.
What was the #mastodon new user rate before #Musk bought #twitter?
@gpollara @mastodonusercount @tchambers If my memory serves correctly, it was around 66 per hour on average just before the takeover went through. Prior to the Twitter purchase going through there had been several waves that lasted maybe a week each.
@mathlover @mastodonusercount @tchambers wow that's quite the change! Thank you for that info.
Any data available for user engagement - i.e. To see if these new users are sustainably active, and not just registering and leaving?
@gpollara @mathlover @mastodonusercount - will be doing future research on that!
@tchambers @mathlover @mastodonusercount great, look forward to it
@gpollara @tchambers yup...

@gpollara @tchambers basically every spike (and there are many, but they're mostly smaller 300-500/hr spikes) coincides with musk doing/saying some stupid shit, or his various pull-out attempts getting denied, or leaks/articles that make him look bad lol until he's forced to close the deal and everything goes truly buck wild
i mean. they gained 500k users over that *entire* 6 month acquisition saga. now they're gaining 500k/week :o
@Lustyjustice @tchambers I guess the thing is to determine where the inflexion point is, whereby mastodon user uptake stays high and independent of Musk idiosyncracies.
@gpollara @Lustyjustice Yep: we will keep watching….
@Lustyjustice @gpollara That breakdown is great.
@gpollara @mastodonusercount @tchambers All of those waves have since been dwarfed by the activity of the last month
