@
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.
