According to fediverse.party && fediverse.observer, there are at least 3 million active users in the fediverse network.
It brings into perspective the feedback about the fediverse (both positive and especially the negative). There are very few users with a reach of at least 1% or 30,000 users.
It is possible if one is a huge personality. But from someone who recently joined and “tested” for only 12 months? No one is dismissing anyone. Just put things into perspective. ^_^
