There's a clear up tick on daily users growing and we've crossed the 50k line as of yesterday! LETSSS GOOO!

Yep and when you're perma banned you're fucked. They don't look at the reasons, they don't engage with people... it's ridiculous
-
Absolutely it should be celebrated.
Once enough users are here, you can join a niche small instance that doesn't federate with as many mainstream ones to get that small community vibe. (Or better yet, make your own instance to build what you want)
The more people using federated social media instead of single-entity controlled social media the better for society.
Just like it was in the early internet.

What does "active" mean in this context? Is giving an upvote or opening the app enough, or do I need to write a comment/post?
A vote is a "mini comment".

If you are here and want lemmy to succeed, please consider donating. The devs used to get by mostly on nlnet foundation grants but are trying to shift to a more sustainable donation based model. You can see how they are doing on the join-lemmy website when you scroll down to the bottom, there are also links to their liberapay (preferred option) paetreon, etc.
I donated monthly for almost 2 years, and they never even added me on the donator page. Petty reason, but at this point I don't even know how much they care.

It's a bizarre thing to go after. I really don't like the pro luigi posts cos he murdered someone and that's not ok... but people are allowed to have their own opinion and most of it IME is tongue in cheek. There's far more important issues they could look at (Russian interference, reddit being used for crime etc) but no... luigi. Ffs.
If you think about it, what would be the punishment for someone that killed thousands of innocent people in the US? I guess it would be a death sentence. So the person that killed that CEO did exactly the job a non compromised US federal estate had to do.
-
Is this something that should be really celebrated? I mean, the reason I joined is because it's not reddit. And I feel that this place will turn into reddit 2.0 if we're not careful.
And here comes the fun part: It can't turn into Reddit 2.0.
If you don't like the policy of your Instance, just join an Instance that fits you more, or create one your own. -

Then everyone banned or permabanned should end the complain with something like "and I'm opening an account in Lemmy. Farewell".

hexbear lost its domain and went offline
Hey everybody! This guy KNOWS things! Let's all laugh at the NERD!!! Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!
looks around
But seriously, thank you for that knowledge. I learned something today! But, I got this whole comedy bit going here....and the number one rule of comedy is that you have to COMMIT!!!
Hey everybody! Such a mockery this person is within our vicinity! Ha ha ha ha ha! Such comedy to be had at ones expense!

That's really good to see. But it will be far more interesting to see what the numbers are a month and longer are from now. If they don't stick, it's pretty meaningless.
They won't all stick. That's just the nature of things, no site/game/service/what-have-you boasts a 100% retention rate. Hell, not even heroin does. But with every MAU bump, some amount of them do stick around, and with every such increase to the baseline MAUs we get closer to critical mass.

They can nazi how bad that is for them either
-
A lot of folks here are talking about Reddit being shitty but I switched because I'm in Europe and I don't want to enrich especially US Companies off of my personal data.
Then you'll be happy to know that Lemmy is 100% EU funded.

I legit got permabanned for implying that fascists deserve the fate of Mussolini.
-
This was me during the APIcalypse. Since joining Lemmy, I have:
- Realized I'm trans
- Procured a Steam Deck
- Started pirating again
- Been on HRT for over a year and counting
- Developed a chronic dependency on Yuri manga
- Lost 50-60 lbs
I hope you have a good time here as well!
If you're not daily driving Arch, btw, did you even join Lemmy?
I know you're not daily driving Arch because you didn't mention it.
(Jokes, obvs. Congrats on the self-discovery!)

Is anyone else just enjoying seeing people create actual user names again and not just using the automatically generated ones reddit has done for awhile?
-
Yep I'm concerned they'll do that too. They'll find some posters in r/conservative that are inappropriate and use that as an excuse to ban. The sad thing is conservative is overall really open to other ideas and open discussion! Say anything not left on reddit and you get torn apart which is horrible.
Wait, the safe space sub where you can't comment unless you're a flaired Trump licker? That's open to other ideas?

Oooooh I like that

There's plenty of criticism of him there.

You can pick a less "reddit-coded" instance. Lemmy.world is pitched as more of a reddit-clone, but other instances have niche subcultures or other fun characteristics like unique emojis. It's less about size and more about policies and structures that cause something to become "reddit-like."
