Looks like Pixelfed's growth spurt is slowing down. Absent any new external stimuli I'm guessing it'll stabilize around 200K to 300K monthly active users -- over a hundredfold order of magnitude from what it was just a month ago.
I'm out of the loop, what happened in January to cause that sudden growth?
I have an account but I'm not active. Just not much of a social media guy in general.

Do you think saying women can't think for themselves is "hate speech"?
