I don’t think we’ve seen any evidence of this yet but I think we should be skeptical of sudden spikes. Could be bots.
Not to mention a couple hours ago someone publicly disclosed a bug that could create thousands of new accounts quickly.
That’s incredibly impressive! I haven’t noticed a single hitch and I’ve been browsing nonstop for the past hour or so.
Odd 503 error here and there due to cloudflare, otherwise smooth like butter!
Yesterday I was receiving a 503 error a few times. I’ve run into it once today when trying to upvote a post. At the very least kbin seems to be handling traffic pretty well.
Cloudflare is gone now, the 503 errors are caused by things being worked on!
Progress!
The live page psuedo app is working well for me on grapheneOS with the vanadium browser, I do also get a random 503 error but it’s already so much better than a couple days ago
Always good to see another grapheneOS user in the wild.
If there is one thing I learned on my time on Reddit… it’s that you don’t piss off Redditors.
Nothing as spiteful as a Redditor done wrong
Totally expected since that post from r/ModCoord mentioned kbin and lemmy
Oddly enough, they initially mentioned kbin.social directly, but we’re not on the list anymore.
We’ve been replaced by https://kbin.fediverse.observer/list , however, we’re not listed there, either.
This is exciting. I don’t need millions of people, just enough to not be a ghost town.
I feel like we may well be over that particular hump now.
Now excuse me while I go give Ernest some more coffee. I somehow doubt he was expecting to become the founding father of a whole new social media ecosystem all at once like this. :)
As awesome as this is, I hope it is not because of a bug someone posted about a few hours ago being able to create accounts in mass.Some people need to learn about responsible disclosure.
If legit then this is fantastic!
Ooh exciting stuff, I wonder if there is another wave with the appocalypse on the 30th.
the r/modcoord people finally admitted that there’s no use sticking around and have finally started saying to leave reddit
I suspect that will be the next wave too. Then whenever reddit gets closer and closer to going public I have a feeling they have more steps in place they will start to change/shut down more subs that don’t ‘align’ with a clean image they want advertisers and shareholders to see. The place will become more and more dry as everything becomes about pleasing those who pay them rather than the community.
I could be wrong but with how they ignored and responded to the recent protest (whether people agree with the protest or not) they clearly are hell bent on their way or the highway.
Oh hey, I’m a statistic 😂
P.S. This is another tracking account, this time for Mastodon accounts:
@mastodonusercount@mastodon.social
These are Mastodon’s latest stats:
12,632,888 accounts
+2,654 in the last hour
+60,821 in the last day
+372,962 in the last week
They also are having a lot of recent growth.
Who let the bots in
Wait did I miss something? Why the sudden influx?
/r/ModCoord is officially recommending recreating communities elsewhere now. Likely related. Though others have said it’s just delayed reporting. Maybe a bit of both.
the r/modcoord subreddit finally admitted that there’s no use trying to stay on reddit and are now recommending people migrate, and this was the top place on the list
“delayed reporting”
growth is still great though, proud of this community
woohoo!!
Oh heck yea my dudes
