Try hosting your own instance and sorting through the content of 30m people for the one post you want. lol

This is so true. It costs more money for the server power required for something like that to be pulled off.

There's a comment in this thread going all crazy complaining about it being costly to host anything on the protocol to stop Bluesky from dominating it and everything. But im like "uhh yeah, servers and storage costs money".

It's just so weird how everyone thinks hosting popular sites should be free.

Something similar is going to happen with lemmy if reddit keeps caving in to Elon

I never trust meta statistics anymore because you know they're filling out their "numbers" with bots to try and keep their stock prices up.

In terms of real users I bet bluesky has already surpassed them.
