Idk, they lose users from stuff like this. For every one real user they lose, they are picking up several fake ones, the mechanized troll divisions, loitering chatbots with air support and artillery cover from amplifier accounts, influence agents, and political support to back them up.

The internet is dead, and those metrics are not the real metrics, the traffic from fake users, inauthentic users, is now greater than real people using the internet it's been reported.

So your metrics might even go up in user numbers/volume. It doesn't mean real people didn't leave, and while your value might not decrease having fake users and bots fill the void, the real value of that website decreases, and that real value will show through eventually.

Man 100%. Every now and then you hear that Facebook is “hemorrhaging users” or “it’s all over” but most normal people just don’t give a fuck and use it because they’re already there and their friends are too. This’ll be no different.

I dunno about netflix, but at least the reddit debacle diverted a lot of users to the fediverse.

If we get a similar exodus from discord to matrix, that would work wonders for spreading the fediverse to others. Most of them still haven't even heard of it.
