Are you sure about that? Joinmastodon indicates 819k MAU, would you have a source you can share ?

"Millions of people" if only...

Negative pricing IS a demand shaping method, you need to have a certain % of the electricity produced that is consumed at the same time, otherwise you risk having an unstable electricity grid.
