They had some event announcement service running on that server, every band they announced (over many years) had a LDAP entry, thus a Friendica account (even though it was never used). That way, they highened the user count way abuve meningful numbers. 16:16 < fikabot> 💬 16:16 < fikabot> 💬 If you are interested in "the size" of the user base of Friendica / the Fediverse - the better numbers are "active users last 6month"and "active users last month". All these dead accounts wont count into these numbers. 16:16 < fikabot> 💬 16:16 < fikabot> 💬 I don't think it was Covid, but "just" that Friendica node was switched off after a harddisk failure. But it corrected the user statistics from the one outliner. 16:18 < fikabot> 💬 Thanks for sharing. I think I recall that Situation. 16:44 < fikabot> 💬 Interesting how Friendica, Diaspora and Mastodon are seeing rapid growth in November according to the active last month statistics, but not Hubzilla, Pleroma, Misskey or Lemmy https://the-federation.info/friendica Pleroma had a healthy growth in September, though. --- Log closed lun nov 07 00:00:13 2022
