Since we announced hitting 1,000 users at the end of last week we are only half way through this week and already hit 1,300 users. It seems each week we gain new users faster than the last. It took us a while to get to 1,000 users but now we seem to be averaging about 600 new users a week, thats crazy. I hope we can keep up this pace.

Thanks for being such an amazing, loving, and accepting community. This is only possible because of all of you and the way you've welcomed people with open-arms. Keep it up!

@freemo what are your plans for administering/moderating the increased number of users here? More people will mean more advertisers, more spambots, more trolls, more nazis looking to propagandise… if moderation is entirely down to you and @absolutus, it's going to be a struggle to stay on top.

@spinflip There is also @arteteco

But yes I do agree that we need more moderators. We are just growing so fast there are few people who have been here long enough that we can trust. But I have been actively keeping an eye out for users who might make good mods.
