Couldn't find a straight answer elsewhere so I'm asking directly.
Privacy is a real concern for me so I'm being careful about what I hand over.
A few specific things I'm curious about:
Let me know your experience. I'll follow up once I've had a chance to test things.
Long-time lurker but this is one I can actually speak to from experience.
One thing I always look at is how recent the actual activity is. Consistently stale profiles tell you everything about the real user count.

Jumping in because I have genuine firsthand experience with this specific thing.
