Ah Linkedin, the social network every professional has to have and almost no one participates in unless they’re looking for or offering a job.
NEVER. STOP. GRINDING.
Good to see we’re not that smol
But we have /u/stamets so the rest is moot.
I feel like the Fediverse hasn’t yet reached the Eternal September moment, and I’m happy for that. A smaller footprint means we get to have our own culture.
On the other hand, even though it means losing this culture, I would like to see greater general adoption of the fediverse and decentralized social media in general. Sure, there will likely be some big-name domains serving fediverse instances, the same way email is primarily served by Gmail et al, but anyone should be able to spin up their own instance and interact as well. I don’t believe Internet communication should be locked behind various walled gardens, and people should re-acclimatize themselves to a version of the Internet where anyone can host and contribute.
We are small but cooler than the other ones
I’m actually surprised by how large the fediverse is. I thought it was more like 50,000 at most.
As someone posted, this is straight up wrong. Why would you source wikipedia? https://fediverse.observer/stats
- Mastodon is almost 9 million/month
- Lemmy is a little over 2 million/month
of which 1.1M are alien[.]top bots mirroring shit from reddit
- you can block them
- Reddit is mirroring a shit ton of stuff from twitter, youtube, etc.
- All social media has a lot of bots, I’m betting there are a lot less here because we’re not on many people’s radars yet.
What you say is true, but the person you replied to has a point. That site has nearly as many accounts as the rest of Lemmy combined, and most of the sites those bot users post to hardly leave any room for genuine discussion from real Lemmy users. You won’t get a reply from any user registered to alien.top. It’s basically Reddit with a coat of paint.
To me it’s a misrepresentation to include alien.top users as part of Lemmy’s userbase.
And yet Facebook is the one platform I use the least often. I just don’t see the appeal, let alone why I’d ever give a flying crap about what other people are doing. I only have a facebook page because my other family members use it to post and keep in touch.
Who made this?
Why isn’t threads with the rest of the feduverse?
They should be. I don t like it but they are their own instance
That’s kind of my point, whoever made this doesn’t know what they’re talking about. So who knows if they did anything else correctly, even though the only other thing is pulling user accounts from Wikipedia.
Impressive. Very nice. Let’s see it without bots.
Or reposts from other platforms.
LinkedIn 930m? More than both Reddit and Twitter. I don’t believe this.
I’d wager the majority of them are dead/inactive accounts. I remember graduating from undergrad and thinking I had to make a LinkedIn account to get a job, used it for maybe 45 minutes, and never touched it again. I feel like this is the case with a lot of people
Never use it if not applying for jobs or recruiting
