@usercount sorry um WHAT
@chr @usercount 300k new accounts today? Is that right?
@nolan @chr @usercount normally there are the same, but this time there is exactly 300k difference between this bot and https://lou.lt/users/mastodonusercount/updates/44666
@usercount @chr @nolan and one extra instance
@radicalgraffiti @usercount @nolan that bot probably does outlier filtering, i remember talking to one of the other bot maintainers who said they did that
in this case, i talked to kinrar and he said there was an instance on the list lying about their statistics, the next time usercount runs it should have a more reasonable number
@chr @usercount @nolan yes that makes sense if a instance comes out of no where with thousands of users its probably fake
