Well there we go, no wonder we're interpreting the data differently. My original point was that enshittification doesn't actually drive masses of people away to privacy respecting or FOSS projects. The Lemmy data proves this - a minority of people may react in the heat of the moment but over time they will migrate back to the platform that everyone else is using.
Whether or not Lemmy has had a slight uptick in growth over the last couple of months was never the point I was making, and if you'd actually bothered to read my original comment or used your brain and picked up on the context clues then I wouldn't need to clarify this for you.
Except it doesn't. Whole sole people dropped off after 2-3 months, most of the active users stayed here.
You were claiming the Lemmy was dying and hemorrhaging users. That's what I responded to, because the data shows otherwise.
If you make 3 claims in a thread and I refute claim #2, my response isn't invalidated just because I didn't address your other 2 points.
Again, you're over-relying on ad-hominem attacks. If you're going to be like this you may as well go back to Reddut
"Go back to reedit" says the person who doesn't even bother to read the initial comment they reply to. You're the stereotypical redditor. Only interested in bad faith misrepresentation to "win" whatever argument you've started.
Lol, ok. Keep telling yourself that
