I’ve noticed it on all social media sites; this desire to talk down about the other platforms and reinforce why yours is the best. Which in part, I get it. If you really liked Twitter you wouldn’t necessarily be hanging out here, but these articles are definitely weird. It’s like following your ex just so you can tell yourself you’re better off now.
Me too, I looked around but it doesn’t seem like lemmy tracks that metric, or if they do they haven’t released it, the best I found was a posts per hour graph from 2 months ago.
Isn’t half still like 50 million users? It’s not nothing

Engagement is down to 6 minutes per user per day down from 21 minutes at launch.
For perspective Twitter is at 34.8 minutes per user per day.
I wonder what Lemmy is…
I am definitely bumping that stat up singlehandedly by an unhealthy amount.
