Again, a quick and dirty analysis, but if I have no bugs then the 1% largest #Mastodon instances accounts for 84% of all users.

The top 5% accounts for 97% of all users.

We can say that the system is effectively centralizing around a few instances, and this might be a problem for the overall stability and sustainability.

@manlius @tiago @lmrocha @estebanmoro @hirokisayama @PessoaBrain This is probably expected. The number of people in the world who want to be users vastly outstrips the number who want to be admins. We see this pattern play out repeatedly in myriad services.
