That’s pretty cool.

I’m truly not being a negative nancy but the last time I checked reddit had 400M user accounts. We should be comparing active user numbers, but either way, this is a drop in the bucket and reddit rightly does not consider Lemmy a threat to its supremacy at this point.

We’re doing great though! Good trajectory.

The other thing is, how many of those 400M accounts are bots?

Or dropshippers…

Or my personal favorite: karmawhoring bots reposting content stolen from other peoples’ OnlyFans accounts.

Right lmao. And to what end? Are people making money off of it? Or is this truly karma whoring at its most basic level?
