I got 141 once, that’s 3 digits. Another 3 digit number is 999 which is half way there to 1998 which is 2k anyway. So I basically got 2k and I am famous on Lemmy AMA.
MAU is currently at about 45k, up from the low point of about 30k six months ago. The exodus spike subsided over over long time but now that users that didn’t stick have been shed, you can see the user base growing again, though slowly.
(I know, it’s acceptable to use it as is done in the title, but the cartoon dude seemed to me the sort of fellow who might have opinions about the Latin roots of words and whatnot.)
Why would one though? All the bots are on Twitter now because in order to fight Bots, Elon encouraged massive abuse of bots and ChatGPT with his new monetization scheme that earns you money the more impressions and engagement you get on your posts.
There was a drastic drop in life expectancy, housing rates, lots of starvation and excess deaths, and drops in literacy rates and so forth following the collapse of the USSR. The rise of the USSR was a drastic improvement upon Tsarism, and the fall of the USSR was a drastic decrease.
The USSR absolutely had its own set of issues, but the collapse of the USSR in the early 90s represented a massive setback that only recently the Russian Federation has begun to overtake, metric-wise.
1924 is when Stalin took power, not when the USSR was founded. Put I guess it’s true that he improved the situation in Russia with imperialism to it’s neighbors so technically for Russia itself it was a pretty good ride still.
I’m aware, I’m familiar with the history of the USSR. Life expectancy rose gradually throughout the history of the USSR as it industrialized, it didn’t just happen under Lenin and plummet under Stalin. Secondly, the USSR was not Imperialist in the sense of extraction, Russia didn’t have higher quality of life on the backs of other Soviet States, but was industrialized first and was a leading indicator overall.
That’s not to say Stalin was some hero or something, or that there weren’t issues, but this gradual improvement was due to industrialization above all else.
Yea, industrialization improved things in like every country that did it but saying the USSR was not imperialist is wild to me. Resources from the annexed territories were being shipped to Russia on a regular basis, literally one of the reasons that made the Holodomor so deadly in Ukraine while Russia itself was mostly spared. Smuggling was insanely common here in the Baltics to ensure the locals could keep what they make and not suffer from famines as well.
