EDIT: we just crossed 30K 🥳

We are now at 28.5K users (see https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list). The top 10 instances also got a decent boost in user count. With the exception of beehaw.org which defederated, the Fediverse is thriving 🔥

    Nope. I’ve never actually directly been to the site.

    I just stumbled into Mastodon last April to watch people flee Twitter, and fell in love with the whole distributed social concept.

    The Internet was a digital anarchist space when I first encountered it in the 90s, and that’s what I want it to be again. And the right to disengage is tied up in that.

      Cool. You’re a valuable contributor and I hope you stick around. I was also hoping for an opportunity to apologize to beehaw on behalf of my server 🤷
