@voidnill wrong, as there is no French in your list.
@Tyanu that is the flag from france ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท
@voidnill yes, and there is a lot of French users, and it is not in the list, so its wrong. case closed.
@voidnill tell me where you see a French flag
@Tyanu the blue _CP_ stands for clipperton island ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ต http://emojipedia.org/flag-for-clipperton-island/ the flag is the same like the france flag ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท http://emojipedia.org/flag-for-france/ i think your smartphone/computer can't resolve the france flag and include the (cp) clipperton island flag as a correction. i hope, you now what i mean.
@voidnill I can understand that, tho it looks weird.
@Tyanu no problem, it's a technical problem. not your/my mistake. ok? โ˜บ
@voidnill but is that based on the usercount and geolocation of the *instance* rather than that of the actual user?
For instance I could be on there as ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช or ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ when I am in fact based in ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง
@vfrmedia btw this is a really good question. ๐Ÿค”

@voidnill @vfrmedia I presume it's based on location of instance, not of users. I have not heard of any system within Masto that collects and broadcasts user's IPs or Geo info.

If there is such a system I'd like to know!

A few weeks ago there were very few instances, and most good ones were in Europe. So new users just signed up on whatever instance was available.

I'm in the US but on a 'de' instance.

@teleclimber @voidnill from reading discussions (that admittedly I do not understand all of) about other tech issues I think the system is set up to delberately make this difficult and grant the endusers some privacy against tracking/geolocation. So these counts are likely to always reflect the geography of the users instance rather than their actual location.
@voidnill Le monde anglophone en PLS.
@Asriel i'ts possible to speak english? i don't understand france. :(
@voidnill i don't see Russia, is it one of 2 Netherlands?
@pavel here ist the source for my list: https://mnm.eliotberriot.com/dashboard/db/mastodon-network-overview?refresh=30m&orgId=1 position 6 is netherlands and position 15 is luxembourg.
@voidnill that's why I haven't seen many toots in Danish.
@Grrr Oui ?
@amaelle_g c'รฉtait pour te montrer le Toto auquel je rรฉpondais avec les stars par pays.
@amaelle_g le toot pas le toto
@amaelle_g (puisque toto c'est mon mot de passe chuis pas bรชte attends !)
@Grrr J'ai un souci avec ce dรฉcompte, il ne prend en compte que la localisation des instances. Or il y a des Fr et des US sur mastodon.social (All), des Jp sur des instances non-Jp, etc. ;)
@voidnill You have missing the French People...
@TazzerMAN please respekt the server rules and don't spam your comment a second time. thank you.
@voidnill I've just delete m'y old message because I've maked an English mistake un the old post... please respect this...
@TazzerMAN ok, sorry. that's cool. my mistake.
@voidnill are you cereals? 15 spanish users? D:
@Efi i create the list with this source https://mnm.eliotberriot.com/dashboard/db/mastodon-network-overview?refresh=30m&orgId=1 and the map say 15 spanish users. i think theay are more. :)
@voidnill ah, so it would count me as being on wherever Mastodon is hosted, not on where I connect from, obviously nwn <3
@voidnill bon, ils sont oรน ces 8 helvรจtes, sur quelle instance ?
@igor sorry, i don't speak france and have problems to translate your uestion with a online translator. it's possible to repeat the question in english please. thank you.
@voidnill Sorry. I was wondering on which instance are the 8 swiss users.
@igor @voidnill there are many more swiss users than 8 !
@Invidiosa @igor yea! i now. please read the faq for more information. thx. https://robert-tomsons.de/faq.txt
1. Maybe the label should be more clear. ;)

2. Now I'm curious. Which instance is the swiss one? ๐Ÿ˜„
@igor with the eight people. :) red background, white cross.
Now there's 11 people in Switzerland. But I still haven't found how the identify the swiss instance(s). Is the instances lists with geoip resolution public?
@voidnill  Interestingly, in the instances lists, there this one: social.glados.ch With a swiss TLD. But it's server is in France. That make 160 'french' users, who could be new-zealanders, who knows! ๐Ÿ˜„
@voidnill and this one: https://mon.keypat.ch also with a .ch TLD, obviously not related to CH. :) IP is .uk, maybe south-africaners users.
@igor c'est pour supprimer la concurrence ? XD
@voidnill ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ ?
@Divan what is this for a flag/country? south africa?
@voidnill Yip , I know me and 3 others so there are 4 people at least.
@Divan i update my faq file for you. :) i hope that help you with your question.
@voidnill J'en ai marre de cette liste avec les danois en dernier alors qu'il suffirait d'un pรฉkin pour ... non rien.
