Compared against the predominant incumbent social media platforms, the fediverse is very small.
information sources:
Yes. Now, if we could implement an irl place without all those people as well, I think I’d like that. Everything contains idiots but I find the overall company around here at least somewhat filtered of them.
I think the people here tend to filter themselves better than places like reddit.
Having left somewhere else, they don’t want the new place to suffer the same fate.
Wow, the Fediverse is actually visible :0
You want to tell us something?
It’s nuts how a difference of hundreds of millions of people doesn’t actually feel like a ton more people or provide any better quality except in some niche spots
we really need to stop calling it formerly Twitter and just call it Shitter.
he ruined the platform, the people can ruin a name
It was ruined long before he touched it
It just made it worse faster
Twitter’s best days were about 10 years prior to Elon buying it

It’s cozy here :)
Slowly and steadily. This platform has potential.
Damn! I didn’t know so many people still use Facebook. But it still doesn’t sound right. I definitely don’t feel like 37.5% of Earth’s population uses Facebook.
3 billion monthly active users? Bull. Bots maybe.
NTS
I’d be interested to see how different it would look if we only counted average active daily users
I surprised Threads, LinkedIn and Snapchat have that many
I would say a good billion of Facebook users are either highly inactive, actually inactivated but Facebook is still counting them, scammers and porn bots, and dead people. Many people made an account in like 2011 and promptly forgot their password and never logged in again I’m sure. And lord knows Facebook isn’t honest about anything.
I’m surprised Twitter is so comparatively small but it’s also a weird site in that you literally talk into a void, at least Facebook you know your uncle is reading your post or whatever.
Why Facebook sucks. With those numbers you’re bound to have hundreds of millions of trolls and stochastic terrorists.
There are dozens of us! Dozens!!
The Germans have a word for us too!
It does feel like a small pond, but it’s a nice one, with smart fish.
I must confess to missing the vastness of Reddit, but I’ll never go back. The company I keep here is better, by far.
And a how do you do to you too dear Doctor.
I’m trying fast-forward and imagine how we’ll end up also hating lemmy in the future.
