Rare user from feddit.it 🇮🇹

I might be in the minority but I'm entirely comfortable with moderate explosive growth, it hasn't hurt bluesky one bit. Especially since explosive growth here implies reddit is dying.

Anecdotally, it doesn't feel like the experience is contracting, or part of a shrinking community. It's worth asking what the data means, and whether it's bad, but there are definitely other reasonable factors too. Users from interoperable platforms like mastodon and piefed, individual people using fewer accounts, or even fewer lurkers, could be responsible for a good chunk of the data.

You see decline. What I see is that a remarkable number of users have remained.

I agree except it feels like people are way more active here than on reddit, me personally I never commented but I comment all the time on here. Lemmy feels really active even without a ton of users (especially discussion threads)

probably went back the mainstream ones like reddit, and the others, assuming you wernt banned in any of those platforms permananetly.
