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
I don’t remember what server it was, maybe they had a good reason. I guess around 2016 there was a short boom that resulted in a lot of inactive accounts after a few months…
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.

Friendica is part of the fediverse and can talk to mastodon, lemmy etc. Plenty of users out there
Does it much in practice though? I’m on mastodon and Lemmy a lot, and don’t see any friendica accounts out and about…
You wouldn’t know them if you did see them. They look like any other account
True, I do see a few when I search for friendica domains, and they do have federated content.
