I'd like to see the percentage of bots out of that other 80%.. 👀

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

out of these 80% probably 95%. we'll know, once the bots are cut off the api. except if reddit runs their own ones...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Of course reddit runs his own ones! It is their business to keep people scrolling. The real question is why would there be anyone else running the bots. To sell an account? You can get this with 3 posts in /awww... no need for spam bots.

Aged accounts with Karma are worth more apparently, or at least they used to be. Actually, if they still have any value, people should sell their accounts rather than deleting them.

Lightly used 10 year old account for sale, inquire within

That's a pretty big chunk... I've been super curious how we've been doing... happy it's a sizeable amount

Apparently the fediverse has grown by 500,000 users since last month. That's alot of people, hopefully the word continues to spread and the user base keeps growing.

greetings from /r/alot

here is an alot of people

And the big inconveniences to reddit hasn't even occurred yet. Wait till the apps that everyone uses disappear. You'll see even more people moving to the fediverse. We gotta get some apps up though.

This is great news. Anyone on r/mma have social media recruiting skills? I'm sure there's a lot of braddahs who will come/go where this action is.

And this will be hastened by the launch of Instagram's new service

Nice that mods put up a link to kbin.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Not nearly enough I'm afraid.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Considering that these 20% account to probably 80% of inspiring interaction and is made by high value users (so basically us, not bots and normies), this is quite an amount

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

20% of real human interaction is huge!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ultimately the only thing that matters is if the fediverse is able to reach critical mass, who really gives a shit if reddit manages to limp along for years of gradual decline after all the good contributors leave?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It will be a vicious circle like we're currently seeing on twitter and Facebook, where we can still be considered early adopters, and if the newer/younger people pick this over Reddit we will reach critical mass easily. Main issue will be on boarding the next generation of users here instead of Reddit .

Not wholly unrelated, I've noticed a massive uptick in NSFW content, both OC and reposted, and historically that tends to be a good indication of where people are flocking to.

Lol, wouldn’t be the first time NSFW picks the winner - see VHS, Bluray.

It is enough that it would piss off investors.

That Reddit is introducing ways to demod moderators is telling; Spez can say this isn't a problem but he isn't going to be able to sustain his position if the 20% hit becomes common.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

It is interesting topic, you lack data to adjust for all spam bots reposting old stuff, posting obscure news, pushing agenda or porn ads. So IMHO when 20% does not sound that bad it might be worse than it is.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thx for crossposting.

I also rescaled the Data in my own post, since the scaling on the post/day scale made it look like a -50% decrease.

I edited my comment that you linked with the new scaling :)

Can't access this from lemmy. For anyone else having the same problem, this link should work https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/93159

First Post in a New Place, Yay!!! Am I the only one who doesn't care that all the social media platforms are getting outed as capitalist hellscapes. I kinda feel like it's a cut the head off so 5 more arms can grow in type of thing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

They gotta make money and that's okay. Even it they make shittons of it and try to make even more.

And if users don't like it, they leave. Beautiful circle of life
