I haven't been following it very closely but looks like Mastodon's monthly active user count climbed back up to 2.1M over the last couple of weeks. Not far off from our last peak!

I have heard a lot of high profile people say that servers are isolated from each other, causing them (and their followers) to not give Mastodon a shot. Maybe we suck at advertising
