Life is always preparing for the next cataclysm but fediverse is preparing for corporations hemorrhaging users. I keep looing at numbers and different sources show that there's a peak in MAU when Elon buys twitter, but then slowly falls over time. I'm curious if anyone has noticed a drop off, or if the peak had some crazy amount of posts and comments?

side note: I'm trying to help build up the fediverse streamer community get the people that want to watch streamer with people that want to watch streamer, but I have only noticed minor improvements. like streamers are connecting with other streamers, and one account has said that they got a boost. nothing to suggest that new members have joined from outside the fediverse streamer.

I'm perma banned from Reddit but can obviously still read what goes on and a funny thing has happened: since I can reply or react I've become less emotional in response and started going through users profiles and the amount of bots has become obvious.

It's a blessing in disguise. Reddit is actually Facebook of the more "left" of the internet now.

It's all imploding on us that lean left while the right seem to have no idea they're interacting with bots and shills
