Eugen Rochko@clacke You think that every person made more than 6 accounts each? There's more than 100k users on a single Japanese instance
@gargron I think nobody has tried to count how many accounts are actually actively used, and when arguing that Masto brought a great benefit to humanity, I'm going to err on the side of caution.
I don't think every person made more than 6 accounts, I think that for each person that actively uses the software, there are several that had a look and then got disappointed, bored or distracted, because you never know what something is before you try it.
Do you believe the > 100k users each on quitter.se and gnusocial.de are all active human users of GNU Social? I personally have created accounts on at least six GS servers and one Masto server in the last year.

@gargron I don't remember the correct numbers, but I believe that I'm in the ballpark when I say that identi.ca before the #pumpocalypse had something like 120000 users, and Evan kept something like 20000 users when filtering for any activity at all in the preceding 12 months.
