@fediverse Fediverse user growth jumped to ~50'000'000 users. What happened ?
The FediDB *Fediverse User Growth* graph shows a significant jump in user count in February. Software distribution is also 81% *other*, and the biggest server is fediverse.hanbitgaram.com with 39 million users ! What happened ?

There's also been huge waves of spam account attacks on Mastodon recently.
Yep, today I have seen a dozen or more instances of some account from some obscure server making their only post with just a picture of a spam can.
Those are only the ones that go through, I am sure there is probably a lot more than the ones I saw.
And if you go to the website that the picture is from, the page is a string of text that isn't in a spoken language or a common programming language. So the image is to make you think that it just a silly picture, when it is actually probably something pretty nefarious.
Yesterday, they seemed to always tag a warframe community.
