Context: Reddit made a few controversial annoucements, feel free to have a look at [email protected]
For people wanting to discuss why some people focus on Lemmy's growth, here is a recent thread from [email protected] :
Active accounts is not active users. We shouldn't lie to ourselves. I wouldn't be surprised if the number of active users is half of the active account number.
More realistic than mainstream social media platforms. On Lemmy, the number of active users is measured by posts, comments and votes.
I think that's a mistake, but also the point is that saying users when you mean accounts is lying to yourself. Users here have multiple accounts, I have 7.
Yes, almost almost all of us have more than one account, but not everyone uses more than one account at the same time. I think these numbers are correct. There should be a margin of deviation of at most 10%.
Over 6 months and over a month, I think most users with multiple accounts use their accounts at least once to post, comment, or vote. So it wouldn't surprise me if active users to active accounts was 1:2
You think that, on average, half of active users are alts...?
No. I think that there are enough users with multiple accounts including bots that it wouldn't surprise me if the ratio of active users to active accounts is 1:2.
Alts or bots, maybe
