Unfortunately these are most bots, which you can see from the active user ratio
What does "active" mean? Are lurkers considered active? Or do you have to vote/comment/post to be considered active?
Looking through the code on GitHub it looks like active is the number of new posts plus the number of new comments in a certain time period (in this case 6 months).
Caveat: I'm just a hobbyist so my reading of the code may not be exactly correct.
Not sure you can infer that from this chart as I believe it counts active users and contributors so lurkers won't show up, of course will will have a lot of people checking us out. Not that bots won't be an issue in the future they will.
