I'm on Mastodon: @[email protected]

[Mastodon (@[email protected]) @joinmastodon]

Over 1 million people have joined Mastodon since October 27. Between that and those who returned to their old accounts, the number of active users has risen to over 1.6 million today, which, for context, is over 3 times what it was just about two weeks ago!

@jeanburgess Nice - you can rely on Taylor

@mattiaseriksson @jeanburgess Like was it really the new stupid verification scheme that caused people to do this? It at least seems plausible. But tricky to test ex-post.

@anneapplebaum It’s wonderful - not a Twitter replicant though but a better way to do social media. Pick any server - but maybe start with the biggest one: https://t.co/yeAzZ2IPPR

@AnnStark67 @assar56 @JesperStromback Den flodvåg av nya människor på Mastadon kräver utbyggnad och uppgraderingar av server admins runtom i världen. Det tar några dagar att hinna ikapp. Och om du inte är nöjd med en server så är det bara att byta till en som är piggare

[Patrik Wikstrom | [email protected] @pwikstrom]

@JesperStromback @christianmunthe Vad är din handle och server om man vill följa dig?

Great work @timothyjgraham

[Tim Graham 🌻 [email protected] @timothyjgraham]

Anecdotally, I didn't believe @elonmusk's claim about a decline in hate speech on this platform, so I ran a large-scale data analysis.

As this graph shows, there is no evidence of a decline in tweets containing hate speech terms* over the past fortnight.
