Excellent point, do you happen to know where I can find longer-term usage data?

I dunno… it’s like the difference between a chain restaurant and your favorite local cafe/pub/diner. The chain restaurant has its benefits, but you have the best interactions with your buddies at your local cafe/pub/diner.
Fam we should totally post to [email protected] during the game! I’m sure I can look up some owl art or something…
o yeah thanks!
user retention
yeah, hard to tell… Lemmy peaked a little under 70k MAUs and is around 45k now… if pixelfed peaks at 300k it’s reasonable to think it levels at 200k (i.e. a hundredfold increase from a month ago).
ofc every situation is different… e.g. pixelfed has tighter Mastodon integration (pro) but may depend more on a network effect (con). also iirc the lemmy MAU count methodology shifted at some point, from post/comment to post/comment/upvote/downvote which is a confound for the lemmy dropoff count…
Yeah, what I like about those stories is that they’re open-ended enough that you can interpret them in various ways. What you’re saying is definitely a valid interpretation.
I think enshittification is a universally-acknowledged truth. The only difference of opinion is whether it’s a good thing or not.
you can use kbin.earth (and presumably mbin?) to see the upvotes, even if you don’t have an account there. e.g.:

It’s a great description. Fire creates H2O in gaseous form? I may have known that, but it makes sense in their explanation.
I don’t remember a single thing that happened in this book, but I do remember this cover art.
There’s a parable about this Taoist Master who’s seen standing by a mountain view.
They ask the Master: are you meditating? And the Master says no, I’m just standing here.
They ask the Master: are you contemplating nature? And the Master says no, I’m just standing here.
They ask the Master: are you waiting for something? And the Master says no, I’m just standing here.
Sometimes it’s okay to just stand there.
That’s not amusing, interesting, outrageous, or profound. That’s just a banal fact. For many people, the end of childhood is when a parent makes sure they know that.
glad to hear he’s putting his “enshittification” fame to good use
slangin that cluck-rock…
Fuck them. If they’re such children that they’re willing to watch the world burn because the side that is looking to help them is smug, they can gargle these nuts and go fuck themselves. I’m done coddling these idiots.
A comic about THAT would be a lot better!
Nah, I get it. Imagine some big clumsy creature who spoke like a screaming baby forced you to keep only one meal’s worth of food in your fridge.
Oh yeah thx I forgot we had 2 communities like that.
Dunno, from Fediverse Observer, it looks like lemmy and mastodon are growing slowly over the last couple weeks. (the mastodon stats look a little weird tho – there’s a plummet on Jan 30th that looks like a data collection artifact.)
