Always felt shifty with their marketing attempts "hey, this looks really cool. It has this extensive list of features. I've not tried it, what do you think?".

Feels I was right to be skeptical. Email is sensitive information and not something you can quickly jump to new shiny thing in town. Proton mail is king for me, but at least Tuta been around a while.

Manjaro. I've never known a distro break as much as this.

I generally don't like to judge distro's, because they've all got pros and cons. With Manjaro, the pros column is pretty empty :).

I do agree with you. It's a universe of federated software and matrix is federated. ActivityPub is an implementation of an idea.

I wonder if this came from engineering or the marketing department.

I'm getting "Let's do this, and if it fails (which it will), it'll look like we're really confident in our self-drive and are a challenger in the market" vibes.

Even if you have excellent self-drive, there is no logical reason not to have a backup steering wheel just to intervene in case. Tbh, I had no idea they were even in the self-drive market which may be their true problem. No one really knows.

It cannot hurt. It was shite when I used it.

I don't want to interact with anyone on Threads. It is new and it is Facebook.

It's my main search in my browser, so I don't even type it. Would strongly recommend.

I think they had a contractual situation that they were navigating. They were transparent about it and resolved that situation quite quickly.

Edit: Due to using Bing as a backend. It was potentially an uncomfortable bind they found themselves in.

Definitely would agree with this. The best of a bad bunch. I use it for nearly all my search.

Did see some sketchy stuff with the android app/browser so probably would avoid... and besides, I'm in a decades long relationship with firefox <3.

Tankies suck, and Conservatives suck imho. They may share shitty views, which is complete nonsense, but I'm finding it a wee bit weird that a Conservative, who I'd assume is all for freedom of speech is trying to shut down speech. I've been here for days now, and I've not seen anything from Lemmygrad. I know it's there, and I don't want to dip my toe in and it's not being thrown down my throat. It's pretty obvious what it is from the name. If I want some weird alt right nonsense, I'd check out truth social or telegram. You know what you're getting.

"Let's get away from the reddit top down control, and implement top down control here". Hmmm...

Lemmy at Scale (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by CrypticCoffee@lemmy.world to c/reddit@lemmy.world

It seems yesterday, Lemmy hit 916k posts, 6.2m comments in the last day (03/07/2023).

https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=30

I was really impressed by this, so wanted to figure out how this compares to Reddit. I found some suggestions it was 830k to 1.1m in 2020. 2 billion comments per year, so 5.47m comments a day.

https://www.reddit.com/r/TheoryOfReddit/comments/l28rxs/how_many_posts_on_reddit_a_day/

Does anyone have any idea if this information is accurate, or I am missing something? Feel free to shred the numbers to bits or offer more accurate numbers to improve understanding of this.

If this is accurate, that is ridiculous, and I'm not sure if I believe it is that close yet. Obviously things will have changed from 2020, but for Lemmy to be operating at that scale already. That is impressive.

Even if Lemmy was a 10th of the size of Reddit, that would be incredible.

Onwards and upwards, I guess. Lot's of content to be created, lots of discussion to be had. LFG!

Edit: @Jenga@lemm.ee provided the following link: https://the-federation.info/platform/73

It seems total posts have gone up by around 50k and 30k over 2 days, so average of 40k. Around 4.8% of 2020 levels. That is awesome and nothing to be sniffed at. A lot bigger than I anticipated.

The joke has probably gone over my head, but great to see.
