There has been an exodus of users looking for a better alternative.
More than 135,000 people joined Mastodon within 24 hours, according to a graph shared by an MIT associate professor.
The graph shows the number of new Mastodon users shooting up after Musk's takeover of the company and the mass layoffs that followed.
Moro said he's going to need a logarithm scale.
Some Mastodon communities have been brought to their knees because of the huge influx of users. Mastodon is a network of smaller communities that are not connected by any of the larger ones.
"We can't keep up with those requests, so we just opened the door," said Mike Stone, the co-founder of Mastodon.
The number of users increased from 381,113 as of October 28 to over one million as of this week.
Musk told advertisers that daily growth on the social media network is on the rise.
More than one million accounts have been deleted since Musk took over.
This year's second quarter saw 237.8 million daily active users on the micro-messaging service.
If the trend continues, the company may be in trouble.
From Musk unexpectedly rolling out and then killing new features to calling for baffling and impossible-to-enforce policy changes, the leadership of the social network has been anything but predictable.
Lots of people are wondering if there is a better alternative out there. It's not certain whether Mastodon will survive the current onslaught of new users or not.
A Mastodon Meltdown has been caused by users of the social networking site, according toWired.
Fired employees are being encouraged to come back by the social networking site.
