So @Gargron announced that there were 4200 sign-ups from #Brazil since X was blocked. Is it confirmed that it was across all #Mastodon instances, or just mastodon.social/.online ?

@Gargron Welcome #Brazil! Brought this over for you

Aug 10, 10 sign-ups from #Brazil. Aug 28, 152 sign-ups from Brazil. Today, 4.2k sign-ups from Brazil. Portuguese (Brazil) has already entered the list of top 8 active languages for the last 30 days.

@Gargron That’s great to hear! Welcome to all our new friends from Brazil—excited to see the community grow! 🌍

I have been asked this, and yes, sign-ups and overall traffic from #Brazil are picking up today, following the #X ban. Bem-vindos ao Mastodon!
