Editing to let people know that I will be blocking anyone who feels the need to tell me why this graph is inaccurate. I truly don't care, but feel free to chime in with your useless take and land a spot on my block list! ๐
For other nerds that absolutely hate dishonest and biased graphs, I present the normalized data. Wow. What a vertical line. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Exactly my first thought seeing this graph.
its the federation effect in action. I expect pixel fed to get a slow trickle of new users as legacy social media cages and milks its current users for ads.
Despite the misleading graph from OP, the slow uptick seems to be common with federated social media because there's little incentive to make viral posts to sell ads.
