Is there a place to watch lemmy user numbers in real time? interested to see if there’s a spike as users try out something else with their new free time.

The reason everyone is so mad is because reddit has been so valuable and useful this past 15 years and they are ruining it.
Exactly, we all helped build reddit for what it is today. They repeatedly showed its users and moderators that all they care about is filling their pockets. The API death is just a symptom, but the disease will spread.
I bought Reddit Gold back in the day “to help keep the servers up”… and what did I get!? 😠
(…well, actually happened to sell a few random Moons from r/cryptocurrency for slightly more than what I was foolish to spend on Reddit Gold, so that kind of worked out 🤔)
And it was so valuable and useful because we, the former redditors, made it that way. They’re ruining the hard (and free) work people did over those 15 years to make it useful. The good thing is it’s been shown to be entirely replaceable, and made better by taking control out of corporate hands.
The special (and valuable) thing about Reddit was its passionate users. Take that away and what’s left?
In a way, we were all Spez. Fuck us all!
Noooooooooooooooo!!!
