Italia ~157.404

Roughly ~157.404 people are active on and around AT Protocol in Italia.

The .it domain is widely registered for English word-play rather than as a statement about Italia, so its raw match count (760) is far higher than what we can stand behind (15). Those matches are counted at the lowest rank, not read as Italia adoption.

The whole bar is the modelled total; the filled part is what we can confirm today: 15 of ~157.404, about 0%. That share climbs the longer we measure, though it never reaches 100%.

How we estimate this

AT Protocol has no country field, so we cannot count directly. We measure posting activity per language across Europe, weight each language to the countries where its speakers live, and calibrate the whole model to the Dutch figure on atproto.nl. Language only feeds the estimate; it never confirms that an account belongs to Italia.

What we can stand behind

15 accounts we can place in Italia for certain, each from a deliberate signal. The real number is higher, which is what the estimate models.

Where these accounts come from

Those 15 accounts by the signal that placed each one. Every account is counted once, under its strongest signal.

What it cannot see

People who post mainly in English are invisible to a language model, so an English-first account in Italia is not captured, which is part of why the real number sits above the confirmed floor.
