    vast majority of it is from the reddit thing. It had nice slow growth the last year but it exploded the last couple weeks

      Wild. I dismissed the reddit thing as some niche, performative stunt a few libs there would screech about for a day or two and didn’t really pay attention to it beyond that. Didn’t expect more than a couple handful of people making the switch tbh…seems like I was off by an order of magnitude or two lol

      Hope hexbear joins soon, then the based peoples combined can effectively stir some shit on /All and scare the libs there

        tbh I thought they might get bored and leave soon too, but it’s honestly starting to reach the point where we’re starting to see actual network effects popping up, I honestly think most of these new users will stay.

        And I have the same hope about hexbear lol

        Well it seems reddit admins stepped in, removed the mods of the blackout subs and reopened them. This pissed off a lot of people.

          and now half the posts on Reddit are gonna be low effort garbage and bots. which is exactly what it deserves, but it’s still a bummer for the niche subreddits.
