> on Mastodon an account having 100K+ followers is exceptionally rare.

I figured there was less than 100K people even on Mastodon. Are there actually accounts with more than 100K followers? If so who?

Creator of Mastodon has 330k. Not sure if he's #1 but he's a strong contender: https://mastodon.social/@Gargron

EDIT: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1cpUKkoT1MUn8_xM4... has a list of the big ones, looks like https://mastodon.social/mastodon is top at 800k.

https://mastodon.fediverse.observer/stats says currently 2 million active monthly users, 9 million registered. That's just for Mastodon, so add another couple of million for the rest of the Fediverse.

Mastodon has more than 10 million... but a lot of these are probably duplicated, bots, etc. Active users are about 1.7 million iirc.
