Nope. After 7 years that is the MAUs as clearly shown to everyone. There are no issues with that figure.
> This doesn't follow. I can estimate it as 2 people. Or 2 billion people. Where does 100,000 or 50,000 come from? You repeatedly refuse to give any evidence that you haven't made those numbers up out of thin air.
NO source exists for Mastodon that verifies the DAUs, since it is not given; meaning that one can only estimate. The problem with your 'link' is that you continuously use it as the wrong metric when it is for the MAUs.
So until you provide a verifiable source for the 'DAU' figures it can only be estimated. I gave mine and you can disagree with it. But without such a definitive verifiable source confirming the DAUs, I can just dismiss it like you can dismiss my estimate.
Furthermore, it is no good blaming a 'label' that has been there for 7 years and now having a problem with it given you still don't have a source for the DAUs.
I'm not sure why you continued in this thread rather than in the other thread with more info and explanation as I suggested, but anyway...
Even if we assume for the sake of argument that "active_user_count" in https://api.joinmastodon.org/statistics is monthly active users, there's still a major problem with your daily estimate, because the monthly active user count is remarkably stable from day to day.
We have 32 days of data, and on most days the change in monthly active users is only around 5000, sometimes less. There was one day where the active user count dropped 13K, and one day where it grew 27K, but those are outliers.
How is it possible that ~92-96% of Mastodon users are not daily active users, yet the monthly active user count only changes from day to day by an average of less than 10K? Your numbers just don't add up. They don't even make sense, as far as human behavior is concerned, and it certainly doesn't align with what we see on every other social network.
They certainly seem to be very loyal, consistent monthly active users. I'm not sure what Twitter means exactly by a "daily" active user. I think I would have been considered one, but I also definitely missed days, so what qualifies or disqualifies an account as a daily active user? How many days can you miss?
