Sounds kinda like they are trying to grab "power" aka. growing their community more than others through exclusivity.

Well if that turns out to be the case other communities can probably just block them in return, but still not a fan of that development

The -30% value is taken from the peak value, but doesn't look at the total amount posted per day.

So I took the data from the blackout.photon-reddit site source.

It seems that it makes a Reddit Api call every Minute searching the newest Post and Comment and calculates both per Minute rates.

I wanted to see the effect the Blackout had over the day, so I summed the data and plotted it: Seems like between 11th and 12th June the comments/day diminished by -19.2%. The posts/day saw a decline of -8.9%

The sub with the most Activity was probably Askreddit

Thx for crossposting.

I also rescaled the Data in my own post, since the scaling on the post/day scale made it look like a -50% decrease.

I edited my comment that you linked with the new scaling :)

Yeah i understand that view, i just think that it would be a good timing for it and bring more publicity to the cause.

Also going a bit offtopic: if it helps, haven't experienced any crashes since using lemmy.world

also tested kbin.social but it was pretty slow and laggy at the moment. But i really like the design on this one a lot

also using squabbles on the side, but that one will not be my new home since it is not on the fediverse. It did feel like another good reddit replacement and was a bit more user friendly since it is less complicated than the fediverse sites.

It's beautiful, but there was a good chance to get stuck everywhere in cars without all-wheel drive. In my neighborhood the snow services dont run through to remove the snow from road and parkings, so you have to do it by hand. Took 3 hours to free our house with 2 people and there was not much place left to shovel the snow too. Over night the temperatures dropped to ~ -12°C so everything is frozen now too. Can't imagine what 70 cm in a day would be like. This was probably the highest single day snowfall i experienced, the only comparable time was i think in 2005

But yeah has been a while since i last saw a white christmas. Nowadays the most snowfall seems to happen in february/march

Snapshot from 4th june

Snapshot from 12th june

Snapshot from Today

Most traffic probably moved to Askreddit. Sadly there is no snapshot from the 13th, since this one would have the data from the 12th

A description for each link would be nice

in germany most plastic bottles are reused several times through a deposit system and after reaching a limit they are almost completely recycled. Always wonder why other countries can't seem to be able to use a similar system

at least it's on gamepass

yeah i saw that info posted 3 days ago before the Blackout on the redditisfun subreddit. At that time it might have still looked like a good idea. At the current time i don't think it is.

No idea if it would end well in the future though, i could see the protest keep relevance, but it might aswell blow over or lose traction. This is also why I believe that it could be good if the protest had a community event on the side to generate more publicity on the side. It might drag in some international influencer/streamer communities like last time aswell.

yeah searching for it, there seem to be certification institutes and audits. The system is quite nicely explained in this video: https://youtu.be/YQ2GOtpYiqk

IT is not in my field of knowledge. Don't have enough time and competence to handle a project like that

Outlast Trials is the big coop fun surprise of the year for me. You can also still buy it 25% off on epic for like 20€ until today.

People should not ignore this game cause it is from the outlast series. This game has way less jumpscares and its more about the tension of being chased all the time. Also way less scary in coop than in solo. It's more like Deadbydaylight meets L4D2 mobs. Level and Character Design reminds me off Bioshock. The coop fun is comparable to Phasmophobia, just less scary but more tense

this is my favorite comment on here so far

A part of me wants to kinda salt the earth and hopes that there will be a data shredder script that doesn't delete all comments, but instead uses ChatGPT to bloat all of them up to maximum comment length. No idea if this has a considerable effect on data size on the server. But I would be happy just imaging that it does.

A more harmless and funny approach could be to instead to just push the original comment through several iterations of translations and dialects till the original comment becomes nonsense.

The non-confrontational part might be just numb to all the corporate greed making stuff worse and is just trying to enjoy this new experience instead

Nice, i just wonder how many people have 2-3 accounts to test out different communities

yeah you can't distinguish between bots and humans. But like said in the post, currently the top100 commenting subs only take part in ~10% of the total comments. This would fit with the dead internet theory imo.

But it is also important to note that for this info the comments/day numbers come from two different sources, so it is hard to verify the validity.

The comment numbers of the top100 subreddits are from subredditstats.com, while the total is from the script used by blackout.photon-reddit.com

For subredditstats.com there is no way to see how the data is obtained/tracked.

But the blackout.photon site has its source code available. I just have not enough programming experience to tell if the comments/min number is obtained by a direct api call, or if it calculates the comment ID Delta between each call that it does (it calls the most recent comment each minute).
