What you say is true, but the person you replied to has a point. That site has nearly as many accounts as the rest of Lemmy combined, and most of the sites those bot users post to hardly leave any room for genuine discussion from real Lemmy users. You won’t get a reply from any user registered to alien.top. It’s basically Reddit with a coat of paint.
To me it’s a misrepresentation to include alien.top users as part of Lemmy’s userbase.

What I’m saying is, that all of the other social media platforms use bot stats as active monthly users and we probably have way less of them.
