I’m a RIF widower… I’m finding Liftoff to be a great mobile app. It doesn’t seem to get much love but it’s stable, easy to use and actively developed. I’m feeling right at home with it 🙂
the potential customers that would already point their finger at you screaming “shame” if they saw you do business with people they dislike? Good riddance.
Even if you go by voting numbers in the only election he actually won (and even that wasn’t by popular vote), it WAS closer to ⅓, and that was SEVEN YEARS AGO. I’d wager quite a few who called themself a supporter back then have changed their minds since. They’re just not speaking up about it, and so the perception is skewed.
Well… it’s worth noting that (IIRC) a record number of people voted in the 2020 election, overall and for each major-party candidate. Are those who chose to vote for Trump not to be counted among “Trump supporters”? It was approximately (but decidedly not quite) half of voters.
Yes, but I was highlighting the disparity between “active voters” and “Americans in general”, and between them and now. Saying half of the country supports Trump simply isn’t factually true.
Now, whether people who don’t vote should even be part of the conversation is another debate, of course.
I bet the throtteling is not caused by data scraping but by Twitter not paying their Google Cloud bills and therefore now with the new month they got services suspended.
Supposedly there is some bug that makes clients send out a ton of requests Some ppl say its because twitter requires to log in to show anything so the requests fail and retry sfba.social/@sysop408/110639474671754723
I wonder if the declining user count is due to the influx of people trying to get on board, but with such a surge systems fell over. It’s good to see server count/comments and posts on the increase… that shows to me that people are starting to come. It’s the wild frontier days in terms of the mass migration of a lot of people… there will be a learning curve for people to understand, change habits, get used to the “new life on mars” so to speak… but I feel that it will happen. It’s really refreshing to be part of the budding beginnings of what hopefully becomes a new front page of the internet.
It’s impressive from my bystander perspective of how quickly people mobilise, and communities can work together to get something that feels similar to what life was like before the mass migration. It is also refreshing for my brain from the doom and despair of the world to be part of a small group (mainly by lurking) and watching things forge ahead.
I believe most of the 2million users are bots, since many instances didn’t have much bot protection for signups. This is why active user count is probably a much more reliable metric.
