They are on the fosstodon server, so I'm not sure it's entirely unreasonable to say "mastodon" here. Some of those followers may not be using Mastodon, but LibreOffice is.

But they do not have 10k followers on the Fosstodon instance; that doesn't really make sense unless you were awkwardly counting only followers from other users of that instance. They have 10k followers on the whole network. At any rate, it's still conflating the software with one instance that is running it.

  So? The whole idea of the fediverse is to be able to follow and communicate no matter where your account resides. My account is on mastodon.social and I follow it, why wouldn't that count?

    Yes, that's my point. Mastodon is just a piece of software which interacts with the network that makes that cross-instance interaction pssible. It is not the network itself. But so many people conflate the two.

      On the other hand, more people know about Mastodon than the Fediverse/ActivityPub.

        So it's our job to use the correct words and tell people what we're really talking about.
