Are they active users?
Nope, that's gotta just be registered users. We're kidding ourselves and don't even have 200k active users
*update: this is just Lemmy users, but OP was talking about all of the fediverse *
Although FediDB claims we have about 418k active
Nope. That's 418k total. 38k active
That is just lemmy.
Shit. I misread. OP's image is for the whole fediverse... 🤦♂️
But still...no way that's active users
Yeah, how many random accounts were made just by this most recent incident of spam across the fediverse? If there was a new account made for each of those spam posts? Not even talking about alt or abandoned accounts. These numbers are gonna be off because of that stuff, right?
Are they bots pretending to be people?
On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.
You think people would do that? Just go on the Internet and tell lies?
Woof! ...er, I mean, no!
Sounds like something a cat would say.
Meow meow
Yep. But, it can still be pretty ruff, when someone mentions that my posts about squirrels are arf-putting.
Are they people pretending to be bots ?
