The Fediverse is by design affected by inflated numbers. If one user uses three different services, the user is counted three times. However, for the Fediverse it doesn't really matter - that number of total users is just as irrelevant like the total number of used email addresses.
Same with reddit. Almost everyone has throwaway accounts there.
True. Some probably have many alternative or throwaways...
