Just FYI, some people have two accounts, one on Lemmy and one on Kbin, so some of these numbers may be duplicates.

To my knowledge there's also no way of identifying bot accounts unless they proactively self identify so these numbers don't don't mean much

At that stage bots and spam accounts are unlikely tho. Maybe in a year it would be worth it. Especially if\when Tumblr or Threads get into that, but I doubt it.

[-] Squids@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

huh? What's tumblr got to do with this? Is this about Automattic adding the ability to connect up Tumblr accounts to the fediverse? Because you do know that isn't the same as the Threads situation right?

It's very probably going to function like how Wordpress and ActivityPub already functions - as a way to let people look at and interact with your blog from a Mastodon or other instance. And if Wordpress is anything to go by it'll also probably be limited to self hosted/paid accounts rather than something that everyone can have so the bot/spam/ghost account worry is kinda moot
