UPDATE: As of this morning there are now more than 7 million Mastodon users, most from the #TwitterMigration.
In fact, 100,000 new accounts have been created since last night.
Since last night's spike 8,000-12,000 new accounts are being created every hour.
Yesterday, I estimated that Mastodon would have 8 million users by the end of the week. That might happen a lot sooner if this trend continues.

By the way, if you're wondering why I'm posting from this account rather than my usual mastodon.social account, it's because mastodon.social is about to give up the ghost -- and as I told all you, it's best to have a back-up account and self-host if you're able.
@atomicpoet Can you migrate your followers to this account to shed some load from mastodon.social? We really need every fediverse user helping out right now
@vincent I can't migrate followers. However, I'm posting from this account, and people now know it exists.
