Two things can be true The Merkle team has been incredibly transparent about their reporting of user metrics, including hiding suspected bot accounts from the client experience An open protocol will have a high amount of spam and other machine driven activity that can inflate otherwise useful KPIs

Would you find it useful if Merkle were to create distinction between accounts and users? Accounts includes everyone and users would be something like all power badge holders.

that will just create more spin what if i have two accounts: a main and an alt that each post on different topics is that two users? how would they know? this feels like bikeshedding instead of tackling the tough question of how to grow the protocol DAU

I think it’s really important for any network to try to accurately report metrics. My profile says I have 36k followers, but in reality I bet less than 3k are actual DAU who do anything meaningful for the protocol. This is simply wrong and very misleading.

if you think that the number should show something else, you're welcome to go use a client that does that if others agree, it will gain users this is like arguing over what % of SMS messages or emails are spam, which no one even tries to do instead, what actually matters is the experience for users & developers
