Discuit is one of the alternatives to Reddit which emerged at the same time as Lemmy (the other one being Tildes, mentioned at the end of the post)
Lemmy has 48k monthly active users (mau): https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats
Mbin has 862 mau: https://mbin.fediverse.observer/dailystats
Piefed has 133 mau: https://piefed.fediverse.observer/dailystats
On Tildes site, I counted around 25 posts per day: https://tildes.net/?order=new
We can see that federation was indeed a better solution, looking at the difference in number of Discuit and Tildes (not federated) vs Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed
Imagine what it would be with 245 weekly active users
We need millions of minutely active users. People who work boring jobs, and just spend all day on Lemmy, talking trash about reddit, and all agreeing that George Clooney is a smug bastard.
Why? So they can satisfy your need for content and save you from boredom?
Yes.
That’s oddly specific
Have you not come across any of the multiple comments I’ve made exactly like this?
George Clooney doesn’t ring any bell
I haven’t seen these posts, either. But I have to ask, are you this person?
That episode aired in 2005 or 2006. I remember I watched that episode on its first run with my girlfriend at the time.
She had heard me say for years how much I loathe him. So when Francine did THAT episode, I was like YES!!! YES!!! GO FRANCINE!!!
My girlfriend was visably scared how excited I got. It was like rooting for a sports team, except we were sharing our love of loathing a smug bastard.
That is hilarious. I can imagine it with perfect clarity lol
