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

Capitalism wants domination. Capitalism and bottoms, of course. switches too. i digress,
It’s not fighting, it’s comparison, to see which one is “better”. Not a fight, but a competition. Just like how boxing matches are competitions, not fights.
Do Lemmy and Mastodon really compete with each other when they’re attempting to cater to different needs? They are all part of the greater Fediverse, showing the growth of the overall community.

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

Of course not, so why rank them? Don’t we rank things that compete against one another?
