Right now i don’t see any movement in the amount of donations (patreon, liberapay). so i am not kinda skeptical this will end up being meaningful growth.

Okay? It’s still a massive surge of new users relative to older growth.

  Which is not useful if those users are people who try out the platform and then abandon it, or worst bots for state actors.

    Should we just not celebrate any growth at all?

I wouldn’t expect new users to donate within their first few days on the site

Donating is great, sure, and they’re probably more likely to stick around if they paid, but just because someone isn’t donating doesn’t mean they won’t be active in the comments or by making posts. Not to mention they might spread the word to friends, some of whom might donate.
