I don't think people on this sub use it, but it's great news for us. The worse it gets the likelier people move on.

The Lemmy data proves this - a minority of people may react in the heat of the moment but over time they will migrate back to the platform that everyone else is using.

Except it doesn't. Whole sole people dropped off after 2-3 months, most of the active users stayed here.

Whether or not Lemmy has had a slight uptick in growth over the last couple of months was never the point I was making

You were claiming the Lemmy was dying and hemorrhaging users. That's what I responded to, because the data shows otherwise.

If you make 3 claims in a thread and I refute claim #2, my response isn't invalidated just because I didn't address your other 2 points.

"Go back to reedit" says the person who doesn't even bother to read the initial comment they reply to. You're the stereotypical redditor. Only interested in bad faith misrepresentation to "win" whatever argument you've started.
