Well that's an ask. Once a year can't be that bad. Can it?

We've already had a legendary post occur but I don't have a ink to the source. Can anyone help out?

this keeps getting touted but isn’t it a huge number of bots causing the rise?

Bots have inflated the total users count (around 2.4 million), but they aren't active (yet). So for now active users is a recommended way to measure the fediverse. But once bots start posting, we'll have to find another way to track real user activity.
