Did my part.
Waiting for some extremely confused person to walk in here
Geoguessr players about to pinpoint your exact location on a map
By the shadow I can tell this is on the summit of Liberal Mountain
this is the great dialectic!
they're both tentpoles of Hexbear Revolutionary Consciousness
How many of those new users are cannibals though? Release the stats, mod.
Mods are self-admittedly flooding us with posting scabs who will both eat our lunch and then subsequently also eat us.
maybe once they eat us, we can finally eat our damn lunch, inside their stomachs. fricking greedy cannibals man
we have an application now?! my open borders hexbear
There used to be a way to see how many people were online, right? Did that go away completely, or is it just hiding behind CSS?
Right, but it used to say how many were online now?
Gotcha.👍
Line of best fit with a logarithmic function on those data points suggests that without taking peaks into account, there are around 350 users online in any given hour. Maybe in the 250-500 range.
Thanks, but I was more wondering about like what our most active hours were and how that compared to other instances. Like I know we're all pulling nightshifts in moscow, but is that balanced out by our counterparts at Langley?
iirc it wasn't exactly accurate anyhow. At one point I believe it counted every tab as a user
I am the Hexbear tabs.
Yeah, something like that, but that's something that should've been easy to fix. Just wondering if the number was still available. Woulda been nice to know.
I believe the Lemmy backend is now accessible both through websockets and through HTTP endpoints. It doesn’t make the count impossible, but definitely complicates things. I don’t know why the decision was made to remove it, but I trust the devs didn’t remove it arbitrarily.
526 of those users are feds and 278 are libs.
Makes sense. If you've got the data to support that we aren't shrinking or growing at an unhealthy rate (because I think both are possible) then it's probably not much to worry about.
So basically my impression is totally backwards, and actually we're growing, not shrinking. As is customary everyone please just ignore me I clearly have no idea what's going on
You are right though, that a lot of old power posters have either left or aren't posting as much.
That happens though, and it's good that we're seeing growth as the "vanguard" is stepping back. That means the general culture of the site has been defined and growth is slow enough that it won't suddenly shift anytime soon.
It’s very rare to find someone who can post that hard for an extended period of time without becoming an asshole about it. User churn is good in a lot of ways. People should be taking breaks as they deem it healthy.
Though keep in mind just because a user doesn’t post here, doesn’t mean the person themselves aren’t still here. After 7k comments I’m concerned about how much info I’ve posted, so I plan on not using this account anymore and using a new one. I know I’m not the only one, either.
me looking through four years of posting for opsec violations
Joke's on you a bunch of people already know where I live.
I'm actually a twink named Lube and I live on Liberal Mountain
god I have 20k comments between a couple of accounts. you're reminding me I need to
Yeah, this is approximately my 420th account

Can't become an asshole if you were already an asshole
Smh I'm not an asshole I just type lol in response to every comment
that's almost back to launch levels
