this is because I removed the ban from pawoo.net, baraag.net and pravda.me, and their stats are now included in the totals
I am working on a new real-time user count and a new fediverse map section, they are pretty cool and will be rolling out later today!

@dansup why are they banned and why did you reverse it?
-
@shadowwwind I banned them due to questionable practices in the past, but they have since addressed the issues (primarily sketchy content and lack of spam signup moderation, leading to inflated numbers, but they have since fixed from my understanding and observations)

@dansup I'm surprised you have unbanned pravda me. Just checked and still is just a trove of russian misinformation and conspiracy theories. In the global feed, you can see the russian affiliated news media that are banned in US/EU, like RT or TASS.
Wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's a tool of Kremlin's hybrid warfare and any kind of exposure is all they want. I can give you some examples of how most of the news pieces are deceitful if you wish, but it's a dumpster fire overall.
