Yeah. Since Reddit is back to normal, the majority of people who left it due to protest now returns.
Let the servers keep crashing, tell everyone to add new instances to help with performance, which puts 1500 rows into the database tables that used to have 50 rows and invokes a massive federation 1-vote-1-https overhead... causing more crashing... all the while ignoring the SQL design of machine-generated ORM statements and counting logic hidden in the background triggers.
... keep users off your sever as a method of scaling by crashing. It's one of the more interesting experiences I've had this year! And I spent all of February and March with the release of GPT-4... which was also interesting!
I have 3 accounts, but now only use 1 actively.
Numbers will go up again once the reddit infinity client stops working.
I can tell you the drop in active Lemmy users was NOT from hexbear and lemmy.grad. Those trolls are worse than the_donald was on the other platform.
Quick! Everyone go open 2 more accounts! We can fix this!
