      Yeah, for a fair comparison the standard definition of “active user” is just viewing posts. Not sure why Lemmy sets the bar so high. Maybe they don’t care about vanity stats - besides mild curiosity, I couldn’t care less.

      Posting or commenting seems more like “contributing users” and posts like this just encourage unhelpful noise.

    Plot twist: All of the “bot accounts” were actually a huge influx of Reddit users who were lurking. By removing the accounts / defederating with their instances, we’ve sent them all back to Reddit, ensuring Reddit can pull through the mass exodus.

    I mean, I’ve had a Reddit account for 13-14 years, maybe even longer, as I was a lurker who bookmarked different subreddits, prior to making an account. In those years, I have commented maybe 5 times in total. So you dont get to tell me what to do, and I certainly won’t be commenting on this post.

    This is not a strictly commercial network. Do we really need useless comments or posts just to increase some stats numbers? I’d think about quality contents instead.
