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 *

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?
