You gotta stop counting total users. Only active users should be counted. We know there's utterly massive numbers of bots being created. Plus people have multiple accounts from trying out different instances even if they'll only use one.

People love vanity metrics, though.

Look, I’ve quit Reddit because fuck spez, and now have confirmation bias that needs answering. Just…let me have this.

But the bot + duplicate account numbers keep going up and I really like exponential growth

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

True. I've created at least 4, myself.

True, I have 9 accounts so far between instances... I don't think I'll make anymore I'm quite comfortable now, but yeah, I inflated the stats. Sorry..
