These numbers are to taken with a grain of salt. Mastodon in example can’t count all instances, because not all are federated. Also on both instances we don’t have numbers of active users per day or logged in at the same time. However Bluesky provides statistics beyond just the number of accounts. I’m not saying one is better or has more active users than the other, only that the total number of accounts can be misleading as much as the Megapixels count of your camera.
