FediDB, Fediverse Network Statistics

FediDB is a cutting-edge service providing detailed statistics and insights into the Fediverse network.

Mastodon numbers are crazy when compared to the rest of the software on that list. Makes me wonder just how many are active users and/or how many search "Mastodon" after Musk bought twitter, made an account on mastodon.social and left it.
… and then went back to twitter, but did not deactivate their #Fediverse account.

Or like me, tried 3 different ones before finding a fourth that worked.

I'm not a Twitter person pes se but it was the only (that I knew about, sadly) decentralized thing on the web that could replace reddit.

I tried Twitter long long ago. I did not enjoy it. I tried Mastodon. And strangely I understand it better than I understand Twitter.

Weird I know. And I can't explain it.
