The plot shows the graph of the number of new users in the Mastodon platform as a function of the date for the last months. It can be seen that until Musk's purchase was completed, the daily new users were about one thousand. It jumped to twenty-five thousand during the first migration to Mastodon, just after the Musk's purchase of Twitter was completed on October 27. A second jump to 100k new users per day happened in the second wave, just after the massive layoffs in Twitter on Nov 4th. Finally the third jump to almost 150k per day happened after Musk's Twitter 2.0 ultimatum on Nov 17th. After that the number of users per day went down to 50k per day for the last week.

Update on the growth of #mastodon in the last months. After the big wave of new accounts on Nov 17th, the growth seems steady for the last week at around 50k new accounts/users per day. Only in the last couple of weeks, 1M new accounts were added. At this rhythm, #mastodon will get 1.5M accounts/users per month.
