this thread is about instances fighting to be #1 isn’t it? y’all know that’s why MAU and metrics are tracked and reported like this right? You do realize that any site which has your email has maybe about $0.5-$1 added to their valuation for each active user, right? this helps companies get advertisers. Even if a product is crap, the business can say “sure but we can contact 1mil users at their email addresses” and I assure you, that counts for a lot.
In case you’re not joking, this thread is about Fediverse software fighting to be #1. First is Mastodon (all known instances of it), second is Lemmy (all known instances of it), etc. etc.
The software isn’t doing the fight. I doubt the developers of the software are doing the fight. The fight seems weird and antithetical to the fediverse to begin with. It’s not a fight, it’s a party! https://fediverse.party

No one is actually fighting, its just showing the average monthly users of each platform from most to least users.
