Maybe I'll hook it up to an accurate user count bot at some point, but anyway: There are 2,728 Mastodon servers online today and on them, there are 252,893 monthly active users, a number that increased by 45,517 since Jan 11th.
@Gargron in response to Elon, Twitter, whatsapp or Trump?
@r3pek I can tell you what but I cannot tell you why
@Gargron yeah... I thought you'd say that and I totally understand
@Gargron nice! Are these stats published regularly anywhere?
@Gargron for context, is that a higher than normal increase?
@Gargron Interesting. The servers number is identical to what the-federation.info shows ATM. I expected the real number of online servers would be a bit higher (because adding newest Masto servers to the stats hub is an irregular process).
@lightone I run a crawler that finds new servers every day
@jbcarroll Does your node tell you specifically about Mastodon servers? I’d assume not and that’s a number that includes non-Mastodon software
@NovaAbacaxi El plan progresa adecuadamente
@Alfombra es gracis a noltros
@Gargron A lot to do with how twitter is behaving nowadays, I guess.
@gargron Would be interesting, though, to keep more in-depth metrics such as count of _unique_ users and now and count of _unique_ users that remained here for, say, more than 12 months or even longer. Congratulations on that, nevertheless. 🙂
