What is meant by 'active' users ?
According to
https://mastodon.org.uk/about
There are 982 users of which 129 are active, which is 13%
@zleap It means people who actually use the service.
I have opened a discussion in our Staff forum requesting that we consider deleting old, never active, not a single post in their lives accounts.
As in -- what are they good for? Contribution, imo is less than Zero, as their user addition costs some storage Bytes in the server storage. I am tired of seeing the inflated numbers, and would have regular pruning in place (common in many Forums I have been a member and staff on, all over the internet).
These inflated, unrealistic figures, are good for Ego reasons, in some cases; look how big my server is! 😜
@design_RG I agree here, another reason for that is 129 out of 982 doesn't look good,
The media would pick up on the 129 more than the 982.
I would +1 this strategy, unless there is objection from the Inactive users, put out fair warning then purge, that covers your back.
Keep up the good work.

LOL!!! Thanks. If they objected, in public and posting here, they would leave the "Nuked Soon" set, lol. Which would be a good reason enough to have the discussion.
I am ALL for it. I would NOT, EVER, volunteer to moderate an internet site with 12,000 active users -- that is the kid of job that Facebook has to hire people for, soon to leave on Stress Leave from the wear and tear they encountered.
