Monthly active users increased by 43% between 13 and 14 January: https://pixelfed.fediverse.observer/dailystats

Thunder, Eternity, Connect, Summit?

Impressive indeed

• https://pixelfed.fediverse.observer/dailystats
• https://fedidb.org/software/pixelfed

Both sites have different monthly active users numbers, but between 42k and 52k is quite impressive

Indeed, but it would have been helpful to promote those 3 a bit

No Lemmy, Piefed, Mbin? 😔

Instagram replacement rather than Imgur

For that there is https://catbox.moe/ and https://imgbb.com/

Very interesting, thanks! Is it possible for people to register on that relay?

Lemmy

And Mbin and Piefed!

Nice!

Friendica looks legitimately old school. Some people might like the aesthetic, but I guess it’s not the taste of the majority

No, instances can be run by enthusiasts and keep operating based on donations

The likely answer to this is that there will always have to be a large corporation at the heart of Bluesky/ATProto, and the network will have to rely on that corporation to do the work of abuse mitigation, particularly in terms of illegal content and spam. This may be a good enough solution for Bluesky’s purposes, but on the economics alone it’s going to be a centralized system that relies on trusting centralized authorities.

There are countries where every service has their official support on WhatsApp. I just booked a medical appointment via WhatsApp, it’s the preferred method of communication.

Thanks for sharing. Could you consider doing an AMA about your experience there?

Sorry about your loss

I’m not aware of anybody else running a large-scale Relay yet (which is one of the things this new foundation says they are planning to work on).

The fact that there still isn’t any other relay besides thé Bluesky one isn’t a good sign. If cost of running it is so high, how are enthusiast supposed to be able to run their own, and thus “own the town square”?

The only hard part to run is the relay.

So what prevents the relay from being bought by a billionaire, who would then decide on the content of the output?

Is there any instance other than Bluesky where people can register?

Ask a teenager how old are the people he/she/xe consider old, 24 shouldn’t be too off

Kids aren’t on Facebook nowadays. It’s definitely an “old person thing” for them
