Just wanted to say kudos to you for caring enough to do this.
I used to report (what I'm guessing is) the same type of content on Twitter ... for hours (often daily). There were just so many.
It's horrific & emotionally draining. But, egads, it's necessary (crucial, really) for decent people to step in.
So, thank you.

A bit of extra advice from someone who researched fake nets (including bots) for years ... usually the good/helpful bots will have the bot creator identified in the account's bio. (Sometimes with links to their other accounts/work.)

I'm guessing they're inaccurate even w/out the duplicate staging. Like all social media, Mastodon has bots (not all nefarious, of course). Odds are very high that the bots are not removed from the count.
People who are interested in user/post counts want to see real, human user quantification. When they see the numbers, that is what they assume they're seeing. So, including the bots is misleading.
But, I also understand the difficulty of parsing bot/real. It's a clusterf*ck.
