Can you please stop posting users numbers until the bot situation is under control? Putting it like you're doing is misleading, half of them are bots (if not more).
When will the bot situation be under control?
I’m not denying the bot situation. These posts are for record keeping, and people in this thread seem aware of the bot situation. We need to get more eyes on this.
You’re welcome to start a conversation about how to solve the bot issue. I’d love to participate.
Post user activity instead? That has been suggested many times already as a far more reliable metric.
Not knowing when the bots will be under control is NOT a good reason to post misleading info, and you should know it.
Any particular website that you go to for post user activity?
I'm seeing total user comments quadrupled in the last 2 days alone (from 800k to 4+ million).
The site you linked has it, first graph is "Average Lemmy Active Users by Day" (hard to miss honestly), after that there's the one you're posting.
there's also this (select active instead of total users): https://the-federation.info/platform/73
and this (check active instead of total): https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy
Geez I read your comment too fast and thought you meant "post user activity". Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome :)
Are you a bot microwave?
I'm totally human.
That's exactly what a bot would say!
Lol, your user name is how I pronounced nginx for years
That's where I got the name from lol. You're literally the only person who's ever pronounced it correct ;)
What a weird way to pronounce that…
Silence!
If you can't use critical thinking skills to analyze these numbers and understand bots are included, idk what to tell you bro. We can't censor the world cause of a few dumb people.
With that said user activity, number of posts, number of comments submitted per day would be a nice metric to look at.
If you don't know what misleading means, idk what to tell you "bro"
We're all bros here can we please get along?
I'm getting along fine with everyone, OP included (that got the point and Is now publishing reliable metrics), but if someone accuse me of wanting censorship just because I point out some info are misleading, you can't expect me to say nothing about it, can you?
