Where are you seeing 1.2m users? This site says that it tracks all instances and only shows 0.96m users total and 62k users in the past month.
I usually look at FediDB and they show about half that in total users but twice that in active users.
Wow, that’s quite the spread between the two.
I can't find it now. The number that I saw was 1.09 million, but I can't find the site I saw it on now. I think a bunch of them must be purged spam accounts maybe.
They talked about purging a shit ton of them. I bet reddit's numbers would be way lower if they purged the spam bots.
