Mbin has <1k users combined across 10 instances that allow sign-ups (and adding Kbin to it helps not at all with only one instance remaining, in Poland)
PieFed.social alone already has nearly 1k active users, and then there are several tens of instances (surely more of them allow sign-ups than it indicates though, like PieFed.zip)
Plus the user base of PieFed has quadrupled in the last few months, rather than stagnating and actually decreasing in the same time period.
So this gun fight is already over, pardner 🤠
