You look a bit skinny, son.

This doesn't seem to be hoping for unlimited growth but rather that is has stagnated and is even falling. That can kill a community especially when it is as small as it is
You see decline. What I see is that a remarkable number of users have remained.

Let's talk about the Overton window.
At some point in time, the major social platforms will fuck up - probably by way of AI - and end up in a collective scandal that gives people a bad taste in their mouthes.
At that point y'all better have your talking points, framing, concepts and schpiel at the ready, because it'll be another chance to adopt even more users. So let me stress a couple of things:
You win more bees with honey, you should be more concerned about peoples wellbeing than your own opinion and start collecting valuable, objective and giving accounts - be they international, but most preferably local - across the fediverse to share with new users.
AGAIN!! You being a toxic little shit will repell people. If you REALLY CARE about GETTING PEOPLE OFF OF PREDATORY CORPORATE PLATFORMS plz be mindful, kind, shower, groom, keep your inside humor to your inside group, learn some rhetoric to improve your communication skills and remember:
you

honeyBeing on your A-game does not mean Asshole-game. Plz do not stink up the place.
This certainly needs to be said and I know exactly what your talking about, but lets be real here. This is an online space, it's always gonna have that element to it.
I'm personally very excited to have more folks flow in from reddit tho.

- point people to one instance you like instead of a general website
- on Piefed, when people register, they can either join indeed the instance they're on, or have a look at other options: https://piefed.zip/auth/instance_chooser
Incidentally Piefed have nice trend. https://piefed.fediverse.observer/stats&months=48

Agreed, so much is stacked against us, these numbers show we are serious about making alternative communities.

Who is the real competitor? The people who are fed up with Reddit, where do they go to for discussions?
Bluesky?
I imagine most people just want a replacement website, and think it was just one bad CEO and not enshittification. That's why the Linux users and leftists; we've been on the losing side of network effects before.

Bluesky is a Twitter alternative. It really doesn't compare to Reddit.

Or “windows sucks, yay linux!“
Star Trek too!

This is actually pretty good user retention. Most platforms bleed way more users after a surge in sign ups (eg Mastodon, Pixelfed, Threads, Bluesky).
Did Mastodon ever have users? Lol.

Could be fedd.it was already taken
Seems like it is... by feddit.it.
To late now though as federation doesnt like domain changes i believe. Even though feddit.de > feddit.org migration seemed pretty seamless.

Unlimited growth is capitalist mindset. Stability and community are what we value here.
So much this^. No where else did have I gotten more thoughtful and well written responses to my few questions I have raised on askelectronics@discuss.tchncs.de. It "only" has 3.88k subscribers but those who are there are really cool. ~Wish I could be of more help there as well.~ In times where most of search results on the web are AI generated it really is worth a lot. Wouldn't want it any other way and think that having more might actually be counter productive.

Lemmy didnt exist before 2023? News to me lol
-
they are all on reddit, where all the addiction is, and plus alot of the supermods seemed to be associated with the admins or is an admin themselves.
No they're definitely here, just go disagree with Dessalines on .ml

I knew it, I'm surrounded by assholes.
KEEP FIRING, ASSHOLES!
-
Yeah, we need more users. The fediverse/lemmy is stagnating in content because we don't have enough people with niche interests. It's mostly US-centered politics; we need more stuff from around the world. Fediverse/lemmy needs more users.

Star Trek too!
Well I don't apologize for that one.

Don't forget "conspiracist" : fluoridated because Russia wants to weaken our sperm

Would never ask you to.
Well goddammit I've gotta post more now then don't I? Gimme a second to start the music...
Also another meme to add to the folder of memes made about me... I have a folder. This is such a weird feeling.
Tell your godfather I said that I do not know him but I love him and wish him nothing but the most aggressive (in however he wishes it) Pon Farr.
