The chart is for 'all servers' already supposedly rather than from the perspective of a single instance though so would that be possible? Or can an instance exist sort of privately and then become visible causing a spike?
I mean Facebook is actually a perfect example though no? I don't know anyone below 40 who uses it. Eventually people get fed up of these stupid websites and move elsewhere.
Reddit will be around just like Facebook sure, but somewhere else will pick up the slack.
In Facebooks case that was Instagram largely which you know, also they owned. In Reddits case it may be Lemmy it may be elsewhere, we will see.
In the UK what we call a daddy longlegs has wings and flies (a crane fly I think). Obviously a very widely used name for things with a small body and a bunch of long legs haha
I think those issues will be solved though. Apps will increasingly make onboarding simpler so Lemmy will be as simple to use as Reddit.
At that point really its just a case of waiting for Reddit to fuck itself, which it absolutely will do eventually via corporate greed, and there we go, all the Lemmy content anyone could ever need.
Consensus seems to be the lemmy chart is actually total cumulative comments, but I can't really work out where millions of comments would come from in a matter of days. Maybe some weird bot spam on some random instance that is being counted when it probably shouldn't.
I think the general consensus seems to be bot and/or spam accounts being removed but I haven't seen evidence of it. Anecdotally I have seen many people say it feels more busy around Lemmy lately but I haven't been here long enough to know myself. It is a curious one though.
If it is genuine then I suppose it could be a typical cycle for platforms that get raided by another, in this case an exodus from reddit to Lemmy - then after the dust settles some people decide they don't like it after all and go back or elsewhere.
I don't think that is a bad sign though that is a natural cycle and as long as some people remain then it shows overall growth.
Are museums also an issue for holding such artifacts or do you just have a problem with individuals? Because to me ownership or an item doesn't mean you agree with what it represents. Like it or not the Nazi party has a lot of historical significance.
Now I don't know anything about Lemmy as a person so he may well be a POS I have no idea but if the above is your basis for it, then it's weak.
With rumours that AlphaTauri will be rebranded to a non-RB affiliated company, as well as reducing numbers of younger drivers in feeder series, is RB trying to trim some fat from their overall motorsport budget perhaps? Or maybe now they are at the top they feel they can be more lazy lol.
Interesting that boomers are living alone and younger generations are being forced to stay together or at least cohabitate because they can't afford not to. The financial situation is effecting the social one.
I think it will be a success for them tbh. D&D and Pathfinder are both just gaining such popularity lately that they will find enough market even if the hardcore players turn their back on it. If they can onboard casual players easily, they will be willing to pay for it.
I believe ads are only showing in certain views. The more compact views like List which I use, does not have any ad support lol. When I swapped to the larger cards view I immediately saw ads there.
IVPN initially because it is very privacy focused but now I swapped to Nord because it's basically free if you get cashback offers and it seems to bypass more region restrictions for video streaming etc.
Interestingly there is some definite fuckery going on with the stats - one server has 80 users and 1.2 million comments. So this whole thread is probably rather pointless when stuff like that exists lol.
Lol yeah I agree with Mastodon. I checked it out and it's like...yep looks like Twitter, and I fucking hate Twitter, just feels like some weird celebrity and brand worship platform. The focus on Lemmy/Reddit at least is the content, and nobody really cares who posted or created it for the most part. Everyone is equal and content speaks for itself, it's a far nicer concept to me.
