question: why is the amount of private posts made counted in the publicly viewable toot count on profiles, even if youre not logged in or following them
@InspectorCaracal why do we have any counts at all
@bea @InspectorCaracal just regex all numbers out of the mastodon code
@boots @InspectorCaracal but what of follwer counts 🤔
@boots probably because nobody thought it was that important to have an accurate count of what can be seen, like, it's just a number stored in the profile, it's not a dynamically calculated count
@boots better question: why do we have a toot count
