What's just as puzzling is this graph from @mastodon_daily_active_users
It subtracted -290,350 Mastodon users during a single day.
I don't think that's accurate either.

@atomicpoet Ah, but I didn't entirely catch that you were questioning the accuracy of these stats. They also could be wrong. But to give you an good opinion about that I would have to look into the stats and I don't have time for that :( @atomicpoet How many of these trackers publish their methodology? This site seems to be definitely wrong for Friendica as their totals are about half what is apparently visible from the admin console of an actual Friendica instance. @atomicpoet @atomicpoet @mastodon_daily_active_users If a big instance blocked their scraper/census taker then that would cause this disturbance in the force of millions of voices crying out and suddenly silenced. Switching their shields on - not the Death Star. |
Personally, I'm thinking that the most accurate stats tracker for Mastodon is the-federation.info.
But even that has issues that are perplexing.
For example, the-federation.info lists mastodon.social as having 993,783 accounts -- all of which are apparently active during the past 6 months. Yeah, I don't buy that.
