On the Lemmy specific front, Active daily users seems to still be stabilising following the exodus from elsewhere, Comments and Posts both seem to be on the rise though – promising stats all in all.

    end of an era

    ... is too strong I think. Big social will probably persist some time.

    It's more accurate to say beginning of a new era where decentralised, FOSS, federated social media has been put on the map, and may very well be a genie that can't be put back in the bottle.

    Most people don't care about ethics /politics or the networks and corporations. They will use what's convenient — familiar facebook where friends and family already are, instagram where you get (this frustrates me the most) announcements from cool places about events, twitter where shitshtorms and instant news happen and so on.

    None of my friends moved or know about Fediverse. Some heard about Mastodon.

    We got almost one percent of their users. Yay. Those fuckers are not going away any time soon. The best we can hope for is having a usable alternative here that can resist enshittification a bit longer.
