Thx for crossposting.
I also rescaled the Data in my own post, since the scaling on the post/day scale made it look like a -50% decrease.
I edited my comment that you linked with the new scaling :)
I’d like to see the percentage of bots out of that other 80%… 👀
out of these 80% probably 95%. we’ll know, once the bots are cut off the api. except if reddit runs their own ones…
Of course reddit runs his own ones! It is their business to keep people scrolling. The real question is why would there be anyone else running the bots. To sell an account? You can get this with 3 posts in /awww… no need for spam bots.
Not nearly enough I’m afraid.
Ultimately the only thing that matters is if the fediverse is able to reach critical mass, who really gives a shit if reddit manages to limp along for years of gradual decline after all the good contributors leave?
It will be a vicious circle like we’re currently seeing on twitter and Facebook, where we can still be considered early adopters, and if the newer/younger people pick this over Reddit we will reach critical mass easily. Main issue will be on boarding the next generation of users here instead of Reddit .
Not wholly unrelated, I’ve noticed a massive uptick in NSFW content, both OC and reposted, and historically that tends to be a good indication of where people are flocking to.

Lol, wouldn’t be the first time NSFW picks the winner - see VHS, Bluray.
