Is this a waterfall total cumulative posts or is this unique posted per day? It looks like overall total

[–] v_krishna@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The title suggests per day to me but the graph I'm quite sure is cumulative based on other data

[–] Totendax@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

There are dips

[–] profz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Changing the ops data to monthly gives the same graph so I assume it's the total number of posts on active servers that day/month

Cumulative would imply monotonously non-decreasing.

There are dips in the curve, so can’t be cumulative.

The only dips i see are recent and its so tiny its hard to see. It could be from people erasing their posts or people getting their posts banned and removong from overall total

Idk I see dips throughout but it might just be me

that's weak argument - this isn't calculus class, it is real world data. real world data have inaccuracies, some post might have been deleted or otherwise unaccounted for, or something else might have happened.

pretty sure it is cumulative - 1 million posts per day would be totally absurd number
