Are they including Gab users in the MAU count?
- commoner 5y agoNo, since Gab does not federate with mainline Mastodon instances anymore.* I'm not sure if Gab discloses its stats the same way other instances do. * https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25715513 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25715513
- gfosco 5y agoGab is separate, and significantly larger than the entire fediverse combined.

- tga_d 5y agoDo you have a source for that? My impression is that Gab is significantly smaller than the Fediverse (Wikipedia says ~100,000 active users).
- gfosco 5y agoWell I'm the CTO there so I am a source... but you don't have to trust me really, you can check https://www.similarweb.com/website/gab.com/ https://www.similarweb.com/website/gab.com/ and https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/gab.com#section_traffic https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/gab.com#section_traffic and draw your own conclusions. For some things, Wikipedia is a really bad source. Especially about things they hate.
- tga_d 5y agoWell, the source is The Interecpt, based on leaked internal data, which I trust a lot more than stat aggregators like Alexa. If you're the CTO then you could just answer the question: how many accounts (or unique IPs, if multiple accounts is common) have posted something in the past month?
