    I’ve been on fedi for 2.5 years. the past six months have seen a huge uptick in activity from my experience.

    a year ago posts were rarely seeing 100s of comments. now dozens of posts per day are getting that.

    i’ve also seen a ton more spam, AI content, and bot activity.

      LGBTQ youth who live in a community that is accepting of LGBTQ people reported significantly lower rates of attempting suicide than those who do not.

      I don’t think the data plays this out.

      https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/stats Lemmy has fallen by 10k in a year. Of course Piefed has increased it by about 6k, so it’s a net decline of about 4-5k.

        that’s users. that’s not the volume of what they are posting. those are two entirely different metrics
