Similar to Mastodon’s spikes last year, it seems. Anyways, there is data to think about. Source

    exactly this right here. we saw the same phenomenon with threads and mastodon before it inre twitter annoying its userbase. depending on how engaged each wave of incoming users ends up, i’d guess you could expect it to look something like:

    • spike
    • drop off
    • plateau
    • spike
    • drop off
    • plateau above the last plateau
    • etc etc

    sometimes the drop off is really bad. sometimes its just people getting bored with the initial hype while others stay. rinse and repeat until the platform succeeds or dies.
