   @dansup I found the commit: https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/commit/a55bd6d2bd7b11aed653f4614836caed4103bec3

   I get why something like that would be implemented from a privacy perspective, but randomizing it is by far the worst approach as (like you have just shown) it manipulates legitimate fediverse statistics tools.

   In my opinion, it would make far more sense to either report all of the counts as 0 or simply return a 403 Forbidden response.
