   Addressing some rumors regarding the popularity of select #Threads accounts.

   👉🏾 #Meta Mind Trick: @zuck & @mosseri Did Not Conquer The #Fediverse Rankings (via @darnell@darnell.day) https://darnell.day/meta-mind-trick-zuck-and-mosseri-did-not-conquer-the-fediverse-rankings

   🥱 Too Long; Did Not Read:

   👉🏾 Threads is reporting total follower users (regardless if they enabled #ActivityPub or are leaving it off)
   👉🏾 #Flipboard had a similar issue before providing more transparent stats
   👉🏾 Theory: No Threads account is in the top 10, let alone 💯

     A) does it matter? I mean, mas.to doesn't report my "followed by mas.to users" and "followed by other activityPub instances" numbers separately.

     B) what's stopping Fediverse instances from reporting inflated numbers?
