The 325,000 tells you it's 1%, plus the 1% is split into several categories already anyways. I don't see how these statistics are misleading.
Comment on The Wikipedia page for the fediverse describes a den of iniquity

Skimmed through the article and something picked my attention, the numbers given in the "325000 posts analyzed". The way its given, it makes seem like big numbers, but if you calculate what is the percentage of the numbers given, it's less than 1%. Can't check the linked source, but it seems like a classical "lying with statistics".
And besides, text seems written in a way to give the impression site moderation for smaller sites is too stupid to block bad actors, and that only the paternalism of bigger sites can solve this implied issue.

The entire tone of the article feels… condescending? (not sure the exact feeling). It feels off in the way information is presented, like subtle disdain in the writing voice.

1.) This is part of the background narratives being pushed by the rich and powerful that we need AI and bit tech to moderate us when the opposite is true, we need more humans involved in moderation who have a stake in their community.
2.) The prevailing winds in the tech journalism sphere have always been strangely blowing against the Fediverse since the beginning. The simplest possible explanation to me is there is a lot of money in writing off the Fediverse as a cool nerdy space that nonetheless is an unrealistic solution for everybody else and a Harvard MBA is needed to translate the Fediverse into a product the public can actually use.
You will NOT notice this same prevailing winds against for profit corporate social networks like Bluesky and Threads… and it is a curious thing isn’t it…

Having everything everyone ever interacts with channeled through the same four fucking websites obviously sucks and doesn’t currently–and likely never can–scale.

I will never understand why that person thinks Lemmy should be moderated like Reddit. Reddit’s moderation policy was at the behest of advertisers; we have no such masters to answer to here.

I couldn’t say, as I’m not familiar with them.
