Is this not relevant, since this person is a linchpin in creating federated alternatives to those social media sites? And if he fails he drags them all down.

Phone users want to consume short form video that way.

Yes! They’re threatening to take away my clit mouse

I still can’t log into the darn android app. Takes me to the pixelfed.social login, then does nothing.

But one day I’ll love it, I’m sure.

Hey, that’s not bad. Thanks!

Ahhh, I see the problem.

What you said sounded like “membership is growing exponentially”, which is false.

What you intended was “The rate of membership growth is growing exponentially”. Which is true.

These are two very different things. If you truly meant that second one in your comment, then all I can say is you chose some very strange wording for it. And I’m not the only one that misunderstood.

I also don’t get it and would love some guidance

How quickly would wiki tank if the bad faith actors outnumbered the good?

And have you SEEN Facebook?

No. They’re two different tools. the article misses the point

If you’re happy to be corrected, then let me please help.

Exponential growth is dependent on the original size, and is usually a multiple of that size. 10 going to 20 then going to 40 then going to 80 is exponential growth.

10 going to 20 then to 30 then to 40 is linear growth. The increments are not related to it’s original size.

Going from 290k to 320k is barely a 10% increase. The way the graph is clipped LOOKS like an exponential line, but that’s because it’s clipped. If we showed the full data, 0 to 320k, it would not at all look exponential.

And even if we drop the mathematical meaning and go with the colloquial meaning, when people say exponential they usually mean doubling. So 290k to 580k.

People are calling you out because you exaggerated too hard. You called 10% growth exponential. That’s just wrong on the face of it.

Now I will wait and see if you lied to me about being happy to be proven wrong.

Eh… It’s important to not spread misinformation and correct it when you see it.

It’s also important to just be ok with being wrong and get on with your life. No emotion needed.

Community note: this guy smells and is wrong.

You seem sensitive and very angry about it.

Protectionism has historically not done well for any country that’s implemented it. If we wanted to improve American industry, then we should be focusing our efforts and dollars on improving local industry to compete.

How in god’s good green earth does this law do any of that? It only legally binds American companies, and only where the site is mostly NSFW content.

Want porn? Go to a UK site. Or go to any site that’s 70% other content. Or if you’re 16 just Google “bikini” and wank to that.

This accomplishes nothing except the illusion of action, virtue signaling to Christians, and restriction of law abiding adults. Waste of time and money. They should be focusing on real things, the like fact Texas is poor and getting poorer.

brain rot

It’s a superior algorithm. You get what you engage with.

I’m going to miss the largest community of left leaning American creators, educators, and activists. I’ve learned so much about politics, social engagement, and community building.

But that’s just my feed. I’m sure there’s a lot of crap too.

Bwhahahaha

Consequences

Best laugh I’ve had all week

It’s not exponentially growing. At best, the growth rate has exponentially increased. These are VERY different things.

It was exponentially growing, the platform would come screeching to a halt and crash.

Under the surface

The numbers are growing

Simply to flip off the US government

We’re petty bitches

I love pancakes

They’re the best

It’s trivial to check which app is #1 in the app stores for social media

You fucking muppet

How’s that?
