The Verge needs to either hire someone who understands how the open social Web or needs to stop assuming that everything is a company, lol. How could Mastodon "comment"?
That said, @dansup, you might need to add an option to see all localities to https://fedidb.org/. That'd help journalists using something like this to get better numbers.
