The Twitter outage had no effect on Mastodon sign-ups.
But it did result in a spike in Mastodon posts.
This implies many people are using Mastodon as a "back-up" Twitter.
Honestly, if you're active on Mastodon, there's probably two reasons for this:
1. You don't feel Big Social is safe for you
2. You so absolutely believe in the tech that you're fine with getting rid of your old audience/connections
