I plan on adjusting the way https://fedidb.org calculates metrics for total users, popular instances and a few others to improve accuracy.
Also planning on adding an "Audit Log" that lists any changes I make to metric calculation, and which instances have been hidden or not included (and why). #fediDB
@dansup One suggestion is to have an NSFW category / setting for FediDB that is opt-in (each time) where people can see stats for controversial instances.
However, I would suggest not hyperlinking to the instances as well as placing a warning to people visiting them.
That way, the stats would be accurate & FediDB would not be linking to them (so there would be no boost to their rankings in Google).
