Literally seems like 1/4 the comments of Reddit, 1/1000 the userbase. I think between API lockdown and “violence” banning, the entire commenting community of Reddit came here lol.
when they allow so much astroturfing from the right, and anything remotely try to use a neutral word to describe a controversial ones, eg demographic instead of the POC actual race, will get you banned.
Yeah but fucking still. I never would’ve imagined i was surrounded by more peers at any given Bills game than there were people accross the whole world contributing to Lemmy on avg. That’s sooooo fucking wild.
It’s also so crazy how in a stadium of 70,000 people from US and Canada I will see someone i know every piss or beer break. Whereas Lemmy is half that amd I am 100% positive I’ve never interacted or saw a comment/post on Lemmy from anyone I know. It’s just crazy to see the perspective of seeing the odds of being 1 out of 70,000 vs being 40,000 out of 6 or 7 billion. Obviously I’m intentionally ignoring all the variables at play for the real reason I know people at bills games vs lemmy but it’s still the quntificatikn that I found amazin.
I think the mainstream isn’t quite ready for the fediverse yet, I see people complaining about not knowing which instance to sign up for and how it works on reddit here and there. I just got a 7-day site-wide suspension because I guess I said something the admins didn’t agree with (didn’t violate any ToS, they just see something they don’t like and banhammer.) This is why decentralization is the key to the future, reddit admins/mods are psychotic power hungry assholes 99% of the time it seems.
I didn’t realize that was only 50 thousand users. Muddy have been only 5000 in 2023 during the API Exodus.

Active users, so vote, post or comment. Lurkers aren’t counted.
