@Gargron @wwahammy I suspect that's referring to the overall user count running instances on paid cloud services? Where it's going to really be telling, is how many of these new instances are still running in a few months time.

@Gargron quick question how do we update our instance text on joinmastodon?

@Gargron given the total amount of resources for all of the services, labor, etc., it was a very rough estimate.
