Life is always preparing for the next cataclysm but fediverse is preparing for corporations hemorrhaging users. I keep looing at numbers and different sources show that there’s a peak in MAU when Elon buys twitter, but then slowly falls over time. I’m curious if anyone has noticed a drop off, or if the peak had some crazy amount of posts and comments?

side note: I’m trying to help build up the fediverse streamer community get the people that want to watch streamer with people that want to watch streamer, but I have only noticed minor improvements. like streamers are connecting with other streamers, and one account has said that they got a boost. nothing to suggest that new members have joined from outside the fediverse streamer.

    This website says:

    Total Servers: 18,851 +19K since last month

    So last month there -149 servers?

      All of the numbers are rounded. Maybe this is the first month collecting data so everything is starting from 0?

        IIRC they stopped collecting data briefly because it was affecting the sites they were checking. They must have fixed that since it’s running again
