     @lina @ruina could make a bot to keep track of instance user counts :D

     @kirby @ruina there's services that do that already
     as you can see outside of me and 4-5 semi active people, there's also 293-4 users on eientei
     probably sleeper accounts for cp spamming or some shit
     cc @iamtakingiteasy is there any info on what are all those dead accounts?

     @kirby @ruina @iamtakingiteasy if you want something like that, both fse and ryona.agency have a bot that welcomes new users and you can just deploy that very early on and count how many times it posts

     @kirby @ruina @iamtakingiteasy what the fuck are you talking about?
     i said referring to /api/v1/instance to see info is convenient only if you do it with one instance, if you're doing it to more than one instance at once it's gonna be a pain in the ass of switching tabs and that's why fedilist is more comfortable, since if you're doing more than one instance at once, you're clearly doing it to compare shit

     @iamtakingiteasy @kirby @ruina should be fair to delete the spambots then, ad bots are the same too
     or are they still in the database and show up after being deleted?

     @lina @kirby @ruina A large chunk was auto-generated spambots, rest is advertisement bots who sign up periodoically and post about some indian/vietnameese hotel, and the ones who leave after looking around.

     @iamtakingiteasy @kirby @ruina what's the point of keeping them around? bloats up the numbers and the database, like i guess it's a drop in the ocean compared to all the posts that eientei stores, with the media
     the only practical use i can imagine is that it holds the username and therefroe a specific bot name can't be reused, but what's stopping someone, like that guy who did spam attacks on instances with open registration from using randomly generated usernames instead?

     @lina @ruina @iamtakingiteasy well here's how i visioned the bot, because you seem to be thinking i want to make a full on statistics bot:
     
     a program that runs as a daemon getting the user count from several instances on that api endpoint, and posts it in this format
     
     pigpoopballs.com: [number] users (+/- [number] difference from last query)
     x.com: [same format as above]
     
     just as a meme, maybe ping someone if the number for a certain instance increases.

     @kirby @ruina @iamtakingiteasy i am thinking that you're trying to implement as a bot something that only a few people would bother to look up in the first place, i feel like getting a difference from last query would change very rarely

     @Zerglingman @ruina @iamtakingiteasy @lina no, the point is the bot constantly posts if there's a difference in at least one of the instances user counts, it's not meant to be a serious stats tool, just a meme

     Though I guess you'd still have to snap the usercount so you can note variance.

     @kirby @ruina @lina @iamtakingiteasy Because csv is even easier to parse than json, also you don't need to go out and connect to the instances you want, you just rip it all in one call.

     @kirby @Zerglingman @iamtakingiteasy @lina @ruina Mainly that you can get historical data and you can get it without hitting the origin server, so it works even if the origin server is down or otherwise inaccessible to you, and it abstracts away some of the differences that Misskey/Friendica/whatever have. The idea is mostly to give people useful data about fedi.
