Is the latest Twitter calamity driving significant users to Mastodon?

Another day, another absurd melt down at Twitter.

So far, Mastodon has been unable to attract a significant number of high-profile users (politicians, leading thinkers/creators of various fields, celebrities etc). In my lay opinion, it won’t truly replace Twitter unless it does.

But today’s news of rate-limiting and self-DDOSing seems even more insane than before.

Is it having an effect? Are notable public figures moving? Are the numbers up?

I ask this out of genuine curiosity, with no other motive!
