I really want to see a data viz of whether/how much users are spreading out. Anyone got the data on user counts over time by instance?

Yeah I mean it’s a lot harder to take back your territory if you’re limited to only fighting within that territory. They’ll have to strike within Russian borders to successfully get their own land back.
It’s true that several instances (the ones hosted in Mali?) closed, but I think you’re premature in saying the smaller instances are disappearing, Lemmy.one included.
Sure, they’re bound to crash or go down for maintenance from time to time, but that doesn’t mean they’re finished. So far my experience has been that if you give it a couple days they’ll be back. Keep in mind these are shoestring operations and sometimes seeing major influxes of users.
I think they basically have built up a tolerance to those bacteria. They probably got sick at some point and survived.
Linked in a comment within that post, this appears to be an extremely comprehensive list:

Really love Mander
That’s not the only way. Smaller instances will have very different All feeds because All is just an aggregate of your Instance-mates.
Reality has a known liberal bias
Yeah the All feed shows you the communities that you and all your instance-mates follow, but not every community in existence.
Omg I fucking hate food blogs. Nobody wants an essay on the history of lentils followed by a 5-page story about the first time the author tried coriander!
Just give me a bullet point list you assholes! I don’t care if you get more ad money if I have to scroll for 30 seconds.
I think a good strategy is to start on Lemmy.World until you discover a solid list of communities you want to follow. Then switch to a smaller instance that aligns with your interests and bring all your subscriptions with you.
If you start on a small instance you’ll have to do a lot more work to discover communities, since they mostly won’t appear in your All feed. Plus, you’re doing that small instance a favor by bringing interesting communities to their All feed.
Desperately needed tl;dr:
Wear an N95 or stay indoors.
Well yeah. I guess my question should be “why do we learn indigo and violet when we learn about the rainbow”. It’s more cultural
Amen. The “AI” everyone is freaking out about is good at a narrow range of things, but either dumb as shit or completely incapable otherwise
False. It is illegal to discriminate against someone based on race, religion or sex, according to Title 2 of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
America was at a crossroads of what freedom really meant 60 years ago, not today. It is now long-established law that freedom is the ability to shop wherever.
All that is up for debate is whether sexual orientation should be included, despite not being explicitly included. Textualists say no, intentionalists say yes.
You’re right. It only just came up in my feed but it’s old. I’ll take my comment down to avoid confusion.
Lemmy.World is back up and the admin who got hacked is claiming it’s fixed. However, REMAIN CAUTIOUS. No other admins have confirmed that it’s fixed. Could easily be the hacker pretending to be the admin.
Lots of discussion happening over on kbin. It’s not clear if any user data has been stolen but some commenters are doubtful. The most important thing is we should not trust links on that site as they could be malware.

“Heavier than any other creature, including the dinosaurs”… this author doesn’t seem to know that blue whales are heavier than any of the dinosaurs.
