I'll be more interested in the user numbers when it's been a year.
commenting to show I'm still active lmao
Let the servers keep crashing, tell everyone to add new instances to help with performance, which puts 1500 rows into the database tables that used to have 50 rows and invokes a massive federation 1-vote-1-https overhead... causing more crashing... all the while ignoring the SQL design of machine-generated ORM statements and counting logic hidden in the background triggers.
... keep users off your sever as a method of scaling by crashing. It's one of the more interesting experiences I've had this year! And I spent all of February and March with the release of GPT-4... which was also interesting!
When they remove old.reddit it's over for me - there is no browser I've tried that new.reddit hasn't managed to crash within a few minutes of using it.
But I'll stay on old.reddit for as long as possible... there are just too many nazis and fascists waiting in the wings to hijack the communities I've put a lot effort into. It's better to just milk them for as long as possible.
Are they getting rid of old.reddit???
That's the only thing that makes the site readable. Damn.
"e.g." is short for "exempli gratia", which is latin for "for example".
It hasn't been announced that they're getting rid of it, but it's a good example of what Reddit could do to fuck up.
I can tell you the drop in active Lemmy users was NOT from hexbear and lemmy.grad. Those trolls are worse than the_donald was on the other platform.
Quick! Everyone go open 2 more accounts! We can fix this!
