That makes sense

6th with 70 monthly active users https://piefed.fediverse.observer/list

Piefed.social has 949, piefed.world 222

Other interpretation: you and db0 admins have had disagreements in the past:

• https://sopuli.xyz/post/26484371/16400011?sort=Top
• https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/43426671/18476015

Those disagreements are what alter your perception of the instance, which is why they mention them.

Edit: I don’t care about pro or anti-AI, but this seems to be the new division point around here

Happy to help

There are 44k monthly active users on this platform.

According to you, they only talk about American politics.

According to me, they also talk about other topics.

Another thread I open yesterday, 55 comments: https://sopuli.xyz/post/21023787

I’m providing examples and numbers to back up my claims, you use incorrect hyperboles.

School breaks probably have an impact

Welcome!

I recognize yours

I do

how loud the Discuit advocates were at the time

Yes, kind of funny how things turned oud

mbin technically just adds to Lemmy

Indeed, same for Piefed

The app has been released: https://tildes.net/~tildes/1g21/three_cheers_for_tildes_app_updates_and_feedback_may_2024_version_1_0_is_out_for_ios

George Clooney doesn’t ring any bell

George Clooney is a smug bastard

That’s oddly specific

Is 60 stories for your Subscribed or Local feed?

Imagine what it would be with 245 weekly active users

It is one of the alternatives to Reddit which emerged at the same time as Lemmy (the other one being Tildes, mentioned at the end of the post)

The message conveyed is that federation was indeed a better solution, looking at the difference in number of Discuit vs Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed

Does it support threads? That’s the feature that is usually missing in XMPP clients

Below the sentence you quoted

However, this does not necessarily mean federation is off the table, possible avenues are:

Implement our own federation protocol
Implement a promising up and coming federation protocol, polyproto
Implement the Matrix protocol (unlikely, obtuse and unstable)

• Implement the XMPP protocol (battle-tested and stable)
