You mention elsewhere that for your plots quantifying Fediverse decentralization, you (want to) count only those Threads users that federate with other instances running ActivityPub-based software. In contrast, Eugen Rochko seems to count any instance running software that natively speaks ActivityPub as part of the Fediverse.
Hence my curiosity questions below about some other software.
#ActivityPub #ATProto #Fediverse #Bluesky #Threads #Hubzilla #(streams) #Forte

Are you counting the user base from instances which run software such as Hubzilla or (streams)—specifically, software that is NOT based on ActivityPub—but which federate with all the instances running ActivityPub-based software such as Mastodon?
If yes/no, why?
For context, the present mandarins of the ActivityPub world do not count Hubzilla or (streams) as parts of the Fediverse.
#ActivityPub #ATProto #Fediverse #Bluesky #Threads #Hubzilla #(streams) #Forte

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://union.place/users/feralthoughts/statuses/115187139626110536 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
