   Let's not fake stats to give the false impression of activity, GotoSocial and @dumpsterqueer

   Not a good look, and quick way to lose whatever legitimacy you had.

     @atomicpoet GtS is intentionally faking stats, affecting fediverse stats services like fedidb.org and fediverse.observer

     @dansup @nubesurrealista two of the top three explicitly deny any crawlers in the robots.txt FYI maybe you should have respected that

     @dansup
     this is well known and widely regarded to be funny because it doesn't matter and nobody really cares about those stats. it's not nefarious at all, it's just a toggle switch to randomize the values lmao https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/blob/a55bd6d2bd7b11aed653f4614836caed4103bec3/internal/api/client/instance/instanceget.go#L63-L67

     @jonny "nobody cares about those stats", ya, maybe get your head out of your ass and be considerate of others.

     The fediverse doesn't have to put up with malicious actors who pretend to be otherwise.

     Ironic how things worked out? The real people who are actually building something for someone other than themselves are getting their flowers.

     Now GtS looks like a childish project to avoid, and bet, I'll spread that tea

     FAFO
