I just graphed Mastodon's MONTHLY ACTIVE USERS each day for the month of November.
At the end of October there were 496K active users, and at the end of November there are 2.6M -- that's over 500% growth.
This is just ACTIVE users; there are millions more non-active accounts.
(For comparison, Twitter allegedly has 396.5M monthly active users, or about 152x the active userbase of Mastodon.)
Not being picky, out of interest.
396.5M monthly active users
In Masto, bots are tagged or well known sites like guppy.
Actually, how well are bots filtered on Twitter? Ignoring Musk's complaints.
@Mizmar I actually don't know if bots are included in this metric or not. I got the number from the "Network health" section of this page https://joinmastodon.org/servers
@micahflee @Mizmar If these are only the stats for servers listed on joinmastodon, there's a fair bit missing. I suspect these are undercounts.
