The thing about Federation is that one server of a few hundred users can federate with all the other servers of a few hundred units and also other Federated services.
The next thing you know, you have a social network graph of millions of people, on thousands of servers (and not one ad).
Letting people who aren’t on all the time keep their accounts isn’t really bloating the figures. Deleting you after a few months of inactivity is a dick move yo
Yeah I’d agree that that’s a short amount of time. I was moreso just giving my opinion on why a for profit platform may not delete anyone unless they explicitly have to or are asked to
Friendica is starting to seem like a fantastic option to serve as a hub account to the fediverse! There’s a reason people liked Facebook at one point, and I think they’re on the right track to advancing the idea with less corrupting influences
The software might be, but what makes a social network is the network effect, and the biggest public english friendica server has a few hundred users.
I had an account in like 2016, but it got deleted after a few months due to inactivity…

That small of a userbase and they still nuke accounts for being inactive?
They don’t have a monetary incentive to bloat their figures.
