So that's definitely biased by bots being logged in and active 24/7, right?

before i was perma-banned for supporting Palestine most of my time was spent blocking porn bots which were really the only things that ever seemed to see my posts/responses anyway

The fact that Ecks couldn’t even stop the most basic filter evasion technique shows that they don’t want to do anything about it. They can charge more for ads by boosting user metrics

368m estimated users would mean they are pretending they average ~1000 seconds (16 minutes) per user

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

damn i wish i only used 16 minutes on the internet thurston

[-] frosty99c@midwest.social 14 points 1 month ago

But they are estimating 570m users, so it's even less than that, right? Or am I too dumb to read the graphic correctly?

[-] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

That's monthly active, so the daily active could potentially be much lower (idk if it actually is)

[-] frosty99c@midwest.social 9 points 1 month ago

Oh good call, the other 2 metrics are daily, I thought they all were

This mf STILL using that corny "I'm Iron Man but REAL!!!" profile pic?? I thought he moved on from that bit when Reddit stopped buying it 10 years behind the curve.

[-] bestmiaou@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 month ago

nah, that's a load bearing personal fantasy. once you put it in, it's never coming out.

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago

user-seconds

Pfffft, everyone knows that the really important metrics are bit-meters and post-hertz. Everything else is just nonsense.

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

meters and Hertz

This but unironically

[-] Teekeeus@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago

user seconds in bio

[-] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

Damn, 1500 man years wasted a day on Twitter

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago

Hexbear has 2 Trillion user-seconds a day!

[-] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

6.7146336351e+52 user planck time

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 month ago

Wow! That's a whopping 6.715443293E+54 units of planck time! So much!

[-] ZoomeristLeninist@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

that’s 100M user-hours. assuming bot activity isn’t included, that’s a sad number even compared to other dying social media sites like insta and fb that have billions of active users. id like to see this stat for tiktok

[-] cosecantphi@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Thought the tilde were minus signs for a second. That'd be more line with expectations, like who the fuck uses twitter still?

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
