   I got asked this by a few different journalists today, so I'm just going to share the numbers. 10,801 people signed up on different Mastodon servers today, and 22,139 since last week.

     I got asked out on a video interview for a TV channel today and dressed up really nicely, but I don't think the footage was used in the end. ?
