Don’t really frequent it all that much. Not sure when this happened

Interesting. I didn’t know it was active really. People tend to use r/fediverse or r/redditalternatives.
probably, maybe people are getting banned, censored so often they are probably looking at alternatives of reddit on reddit.
Yeah it is interesting. Hopefully it was just due to mod inactivity. At least those other subs are up.
It wasn’t, the ban message mentions Reddit guidelines. That means there were mods and they were considered active (account/mod activity within the last 6 months)
Fuck reddit
Lemmy happens to be the most free social network at the moment, which is enough to raise the ire of every other billionaire owned fascist social network.
I await the week of dreadful news when they start using their immense wealth to take down instances via DDoS attacks, one by one…
I think lemmy.today has been getting hit by bots. I remember someone mentioning the attack increasing over time.
Yeah its a bit slower sometimes during the attacks but seems to stay up. Admin posted they blocked some chinese ip ranges due to massive bot crawlings so maybe someone got upset. :)
Cut off one head, three more rise in its place…
I don’t know; I have neither the interest nor time to run one, and I have seen at least one go down recently (Lemmy.one) partly because of how complicated the whole system actually is. Individual enthusiasts may not have the resources to keep up against the long-term might of Meta, Reddit, etc. if they develop dedicated attack teams.
Hope springs eternal, though.
And we will rise like the fungus we are!
There’s dull Gus, and fun Gus. Together they are the fun guys.
They don’t want people jumping ship. How else are the billionaires supposed to control the narrative.
50+% of the users are bots on reddit anyways.
Any only ~1% actually post.
Sooooo 0.5% are bots?
A better way of phrasing it would be that 50% of content and conversation is bot generated.
Ive been using Lemmy on a number of instances for over a year and honestly, Reddit should be scared.
I love Lemmy, if we want it to survive and thrive we also need to be realistic with ourselves.
Should Reddit be scared? No, no they shouldn’t, laughably.
We’re talking about 0.01% of the active user base. Lemmy has ~ 40-50k mau, if we’re being incredibly conservative, Reddit has ~400 million MAU . Reddit gains about an entire Lemmy worth of new users, daily.
It’s a humbling number.
“Well it’s all bots” you say. Well… Given that ~ 1% of reddit users actually post, it would seem safe to assume that non-content posting users would not be bots. Which doesn’t really change the numbers much here.
Why would it be safe to assume non-content posting users would not be bots?
Why even bother? Let them fucking die in Reddit. They choosed it, not us!
“But, but, but Reddit has communities that we don’t have here” make one and promote it.Ps: talking about Reddit when we said we gonna abandon it, does the opposite.

Yeah, but I still like watching the shitshow.
