I’ve been one of the people saying “we don’t need more users. we need quality over quantity” and i was wrong.

the way it’s going, lemmy needs active users who post content sothat the network stays relevant. networks like the fediverse benefit from network effects and that means that if we have more users, that improves the value and quality of the fediverse overall.

So please, everyone, when you can, make advertisement for the fediverse in your personal area. Go talk to friends, make attractive stickers and put them everywhere, stuff like that. We would all benefit from it.

    it kinda correlates with what the “p47” have done controversial and it also correlates with/timing of reddits purges too.

      But they should be offset. Monthly MAU departures shouldn’t reflect in half-year until 5 months later. And half-year departures shouldn’t influence the MAU at all.

      The fact that they line up to they day strikes me as very suspicious.
      But I’m not a statistician
