Fediverse

You know what's actually cool?

While many suppose that majority just moved back, they didn't! Less than half of users actually left Lemmy after an exodus, and now about what, 95% of users?..are actually from there.

Worrying that this is the CHUD invasion from parler or one of those pretend places to data mine hate and sell powdered eggs, lead pills and gold to mostly helpless idiots. Some comment sections have gotten noticeable shittier and less civil lately. We don't need growth for the sake of it.

dev'd an online course web app and website for a community college. users/activity was very cyclic. could see the hits going up every Sunday night as students tried to catch up before Monday class. usage normally dropped around weekends/holidays. maybe similar surges depending on time of day.

One issue with Reddit was the extreme even obsesive moderation level. It was totally frustrating to post stuff in some subs, lot of new people just avoid it even experienced users like me.

How do they handle bots? Seems to me this statistic could be heavily inflated. Or do they account for that?

Here is their listing of users per instance, looks a bit sus to me ("Benutzer" means "Users"):

That's good. A lot of communities have been slowly dying 🫤 I've been using Mastodon more and more but it's not the same.

I was having difficulty with servers being down and nothing loading when I first deleted Reddit. Things finally seem stable so I've been a lot more active.

Good, we need an alternative to Reddit that isn't manipulated

The Lemming went unto spez and said, "let my people go!"

It's winter break for me so that's why I'm going to use it a bit more.

I was just wondering if this month would be the one where we see another upward trend. Glad that seems to be the case!

I just wish more people were talking about Warhammer and Battletech here.

Ahem.
