How many of them are 196 shitposting?
I was there, 3000 years ago \o/
Lets gooo!
Great! I was a bit sceptical about the new users grow in the past weeks, but I think this information is more reliable
You can tell there are more users by the number of the top up voted threads. Some are in the 1000s votes and a lot in the 100s. Wasn't that high before.
And the comment threads! You can find posts with multiple comment threads usually several comments deep!

What happened June 21st? It's the first exponential growth and it's also when I made my account, but I don't remember what was the trigger to finally make an account.
Edit: I think it's when they started trying to force subreddits back open: https://www.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/14ffsk8/reddit_is_a_bully/
This is reminiscent of when I was first on Hotmail back in the 90's. I remember getting an email from the Hotmail team when they first hit a million subscribers.... They were bought out by Microsoft within the year.... My username is my original Hotmail address.
Fun thing is a lot of the seeming Zuck fans are driving this recent spike, with the federation debates. The engagement is spiking our value, which some of the smarter ones probably know and are doing on purpose.
Keep arguing, internet, keep arguing.
And 90% of them have been bitching about reddit, talking about reddit, or asking how we can make the fediverse more like reddit. I'd love to contribute more, but there is honestly very little in the way of content here outside of the reddit exodus, besides basic memes and nsfw bullshit pages which are already getting flooded with bots selling OnlyFans subs. People have talked about how much higher quality the posts are here, but I don't see it at all.
