I mean I was waiting to see how shitty the apple tv neuromancer adaptation would be next year, but at this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up pushing random Timmys into becoming techies and netrunners. Life imitates art I guess.

Not sure if that info is available or even possible to filter out, but i think this happens in every social media site

According to FediDB there has been a 1.7% growth this month. Meaning 244,051 new accounts have been created on fediverse on the past 30days. Almost 250thousand people in a month. I’m sure this is completely coincidental

I joined Matrix today, It’s been 4-5 hours, I’ve seen multiple other users joining aswell, asking for what client is the best one or how to do X. For sure a lil exodus is happening.

I use a handful of reddits, usually a few of those lewd ones for like hooking over over voice chat and stuff, kinda fun for that ig, but like as you said, most people there are kinda dumb, most conversations I have there are bland, boring, and end in a day or two at most with ghosting. (met a few cool people tho, its just like… 5% of all the ones I talk to)

After all the dumb changes to reddit and surveillance in general I decided to try and look for an alternative, If I knew it was this easy to get into lemmy I would’ve done it SO much sooner. Also i think this is my first day here? And every time I posted something I got a TON of responses, like I could argue even more attention than I would get on reddit, also the responses were better? Like what? How? There’s way less users here… Just imagine if Lemmy grew just a bit more, doesn’t need to beat reddit at all, just to grow a bit more (with good users ofc) That would be insane, Im having way more fun here already, the community is so much better, the only thing im missing/haven’t found yet, is those r4r reddit-like forums where you get to meet people to dm and stuff
