Man, I love atproto, but also hate that they are using the "40M+ users" lie on the front page
1. Account != User, eg. devs are creating real accounts for local development, I have double digit accounts personally
2. An unreproducible number, I've always been several million short (4-5)
3. The actually active user count is an order of magnitude lower, double digit millions of what look to be dead accounts
Let's be real instead of broadcasting a feel good misrepresentation
