Right, exactly what all store owners want. For potential customers to go somewhere else instead.

I was reluctant to watch those at first, for the same reason, but at this point I enjoy making an evening of it.

I mean, if I could shut down my office without getting fired and still get paid, I'd consider it too.

But how would you get all the termites to remain in the house instead of wandering off somewhere else?

If he's young enough, he might be getting his safety net from parents or something. I could see this being viable part-time work for, e.g., college students.

Looks like Pixelfed is about 2%. Try Mastodon, I guess - it's listed as 72%.

EDIT: lol, I just did a quick search - apparently Instagram's monthly active user count is over two Billion. With a 'B'. Even with 10 million, it wouldn't compare.

Clicking through to the additional statistics is really interesting. The equivalent graph for Monthly Active Users shows a big bump in June/July 2023. That lines up with the reddit event, iirc. If those causality assumptions are accurate, it's neat how the numbers for total users is more affected by Twitter, but the numbers for active users is more affected by Reddit.

EDIT: nevermind, I didn't realize the timelines were different. The big Twitter exodus isn't actually in the second graph, so they can't be compared. It probably had a bigger impact there as well.

This is for the fediverse as a whole, not just Lemmy. If you click through, there's a pie chart that shows the vast majority of users are on Mastodon. Lemmy only accounts for about 4% of these numbers.

I used my chosen name for the account while setting up a fresh Windows installation. Seeing it on the login screen made me feel so euphoric that I broke into tears.
