So... There seems to be a common misconception where people assume all of Mastodon has 180,000 users because mastodon.social says it's home to that number of users.

The real number is closer to 1,5 million. Those 180k are only mastodon.social users and there are like... 3,000 other servers?

I wonder what I should do. 🤔

@Gargron display local user count * connected instances. Higher number, equally useless for anything ;) (or replace it with "connecting over a million users")
