      Well, it’s one smartass that spun up his own system and that reports 39m users.

        Could you please write the same comment, but without the namecalling for what seems to be an honest mistake?

        Good Lord, for all the talk about the Fediverse being a nicer place than corporate-controlled social media, comments like yours really show how that is very far from the rule.
