Fediverse

Looks like the rate of decline is slowing. I bet it starts trending the other direction soon.

Juuuust keeping the lights on.

I think we'll need a more polished, tuned, crisper product in order to actually retain a significant userbase of less techy sorts. Which is probably still some time away.

For better or for worse, though, I don't think the social media landscape is going to change too much in the foreseeable future.

But really, this isn't good enough. It's lacking the layer of polish that the mainstream public expects, it's basically still in alpha. Development takes time is all.

I have to admit that I still go back to Reddit regularly. There‘s just (still) more interesting / engaging content and more interaction there. Although I would be happy to go „all in fediverse“.

So every month is higher than the month 6 months prior, that seems pretty good. Obviously won't be true 6 months after that July but certainly speaks to the community that has grown here and remained here.

What is considered as active ? Is someone connecting to his account and lurking considered active ? Or, someone who just up/downvote without commenting or posting ?

buggy, infrequent updates, lack of content, an ideological hive mind...is anyone really surprised?

Oh no! Anyway...
