Has anyone figured out why #Mastodon keeps having this strange development?

While users appear to be arriving in huge numbers, the stats for monthly active users keep declining.

I know the onboarding experience is not perfect, but still… this just seems unrealistic to me.

In fact, from my own experience using Mastodon, it feels like everyone is more active now than one year ago. So what is going on?

I'm guessing bot signups. When I used to run a discussion forum board, it happened a lot to all discussion forums and that's what launched back in the day.
