Here’s where I found this

One of the weirder information I found. The website seems to have quoted semrush here, so idk, but monthly unique users from America is more than America’s population

When you put it that way, bots sound like a reasonable answer. But would crawlbots actually prop up monthly active users that much? I thought it might be like 10%.

Yeah, but bots does not sound right. That would mean 90% of reddits monthly active users don’t even exist. 50% is a more pallatable number, even close to 60 would have been okay.

Why I am finding it hard to digest is because reddit already is suffering from a bot problem that’s visible. Like even the engagements are sometimes artificial, especially the political ones. So if you say 90% of reddit mau is bots based on this, then the number would be closer to 95.

Oh my god. Silksanity is now spreading to lemmy. /S

After seeing piefed, I think they can divert resources to create an algorithmic feed for mastodon if they want to. Except I don’t know how much they are willing to do that. European projects are riding on half anger and half nationalism, not the perfect time for rational thought.

It is a pretty bullshit take by the mod, but being a mod he should have been more thoughtful of his words in my opinion

Sorry, you’re screwed. Reddits permaban is a pretty strong one. I had my account permabanned a few years ago, and nothing could be done about it, especially since you created a new account to circumvent the ban, it’s the final nail in the coffin.

Don’t worry though, I don’t think you are missing anything. Matter of fact, I was able to circumvent the Ban, when I got a new phone, but you have to create a new account with a completely new email address. Or if you’re on computer, just changing the operating system and doing the rest like I said is enough to circumvent the ban.

Again, I would say use this as an opportunity and try getting off social media app.

No it’s not. Ik it’s a month old comment, but I like to explore, and learn things and subreddits that are (actually were) unique. Targeted content is just not something I go to reddit for.

Fediverse is still federated. I was talking about storing data decentralised, like using ipfs

Servers like centralised data storage

Thanks! I’ll check it out.
