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.
I’m a boomerang. Reddit has the content, but it’s largely focused on the larger subs which are the ones I want to avoid. I’ll have to decide whether or not I want to run into obvious tankies (mayo) or try to spot misinformation campaigns (reddit).
And reddit is getting worse in every way. Reddit wants to turn into an ad platform and that’s the way things are going. Lot’s more locked comments and posts, totally unchecked misinformation and dooming.
On iOS through firefox the google login prompt can’t be closed. This is what prompted me back, I started using Voyager again.
I might come back and search for another home server, create a new account and delete my old one. Start fresh.
I’ve seen this graph before. What is “Active Users Halfyear” and how is it different from “Active Users Monthly”, especially since they both change and are measured… monthly?
Probably “number of users who were active this month” for monthly, versus “number of users who were active the last half year (6 mo)” for halfyear. Both can be updated monthly. A user who was active 3 months ago would be in the second group but not the first.
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.
Recently it seems like the Fediverse is a lot more quiet than before. Even in the tech and privacy communities I follow things have been rather slow lately.
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.
What I noticed is the server I used to login to disappeared all of a sudden so I guess all the users who were on that server couldn’t login and leaving. Same is happening across fediverse.
Was it FMHY? Some instances that were created during the Reddit blackout went down to technical or logistical issues and decided to operate under other instances
Can confirm, I made an instance around the time that the blackout started - unfortunately the hardware it was running on was starting to experience some issues. It’s still up and running, but for now I’ve made a fresh new instance on way better hardware - and this time without a subdomain 😅
