Is Threads even a good enough product for users to be willing to endure ads?
You're perfectly free to go on Lemmy instances that don't have that as a rule.
I'm glad to hear
I just added it as a rule for the communities I moderate. I also set my Bluesky feeds to filter out X links.
Lemmy instances should follow suit.
According to fedidb.org, Lemmy has plateaued at around 43k active users over the past year.
If you ask me, though, it doesn't matter. The Lemmy ecosystem is active and healthy.
I don't know. I'm just making rough estimates. Suffice it to say that that the lemmy.ml admins do not have any power over the vast majority of lemmy users.
One out of the top ten when sorting by MAU. That community is !memes@lemmy.ml.
Say what you will about the Lemmy devs and their political leanings, but they did a great job at ensuring the broader Lemmy community would not centralize onto their instance.
Trump is president and this is their priority?
