I wonder what kind of growth Mastodon saw over the last 24hrs.

In mid-October the instance I co-admin had 2K accounts, about 600 of which were active.

We now have about 12K accounts with around half active. We've grown in fits'n'starts, and in the last 72 hours we've had about 800 new accounts.

Here are new accounts over the past 8 weeks or so:

I’d say quite a lot. Anecdata etc, but over the last 24 hours I’ve had a new follower roughly every 10 mins, all new accounts. Never seen that level of activity before.
