The Pluspora pod has seen 6,700 members joining, virtually all since 8 October, with numerous others at other pods. I've long had a JoinDiaspora account myself, and revived that. This compares with 2,900+ members of the G+ Mass Migration community on G+, also since 8 October. (I am one of the mods.) The Change.org petition to retain G+ has seen 31,000+ signatures. I'd previously conducted assessments of publicly visible G+ posting activity, and arrived at an estimate of 5-10 million such profiles, from a population at the time of about 2.2 billion registered profiles (from a time when Android & Gmail registrations defaulted to registering for G+). Stone Temple Consulting expanded on that research and methodology: https://www.stonetemple.com/real-numbers-for-the-activity-on... Google have never been forthcoming with statistics on actual on-G+ activity, though a solid core of single-digit millions, with an extended engagement of 30-120 million, as of March 2015, seems likely. Other platforms, particularly MeWe, are reporting tens of thousands of new accounts from G+ refugees (Reddit AMA). https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/9sq3jf/im_mark_weinst... |
