User count has plateaued at about 420K

Active user count rose significantly between 2/24 37K to 3/24 51K

Hopefully users who signed up last year are coming back to use their accounts.

Maybe because they're tired of ads on reddit?

Should we put together a collection and and buy an ad campaign on Reddit?

I can see it now:

"Ads suck. We're ad-free forever. Join Lemmy."

and

"He'll never get us. Join Lemmy." or "Don't let him get you. Join Lemmy"

I'm probably the weird one, but I specifically make it a point not to buy anything I've seen in any ad.

    I do this, too. I've noticed local companies who advertise heavily on local TV/radio often charge 2x as much as the competition who don't. And the aggressive advertisers are often arrogant and difficult to work with.

    And it pisses me off when I see giant insurance companies spending millions on celebrity spokespeople and Superbowl ads. That represents a lot of denied claims.

    Beyond all that: fuck reddit. Don't give money to spez.
