@amerika @sirJoho It was right after he made this abrupt about-face. First he was insisting that Gab was going to be decentralized, then he started posting that kind of stuff.

@amerika @sirJoho @D> oftentimes a good business has to cast around a bit in order to find what worksWhen pivoting, you typically don't say "It's only for pedophiles and criminals!" because, in the event that it starts to look advantageous to un-pivot and then you decide to un-pivot and that you love decentralized networks and that you're going to fork Mastodon, you look like the full dingus: head, shaft, and balls. A good business also needs to be able to coherently justify their business decisions without resorting to Antics.> No one has found a way to make social media profitable EXCEPT by selling user data.Maybe it's infrastructure rather than a profit center. For most businesses, this is absolutely true: they pay for Yammer and Slack. (Yeah, Yammer is still in business, and that's what they're doing: a Facebook wall but for HR departments.)> Imagine Fedi with ads instead of lots of volunteer dollars propping it up.I already imagined Revolver and it doesn't have ads nor require a lot of money spent on hosting.> Might even be able to scale!Architecturally, we have a handshake problem. There's no fixing the scaling issues without fixing the architecture. (It could be mitigated with object refetching.) I am attempting to fix that facet of the architecture: https://blog.freespeechextremist.com/blog/revolver-kickoff.html .

@p @sirJoho @D No doubt. He went in without a business plan that was coherent and I think learned an awful lot.But, say what you want about him, he has now found a working business model and cultivated a growing audience.This puts him ahead of both Facebook and Fedi, which is doomed by high turnover.

@amerika @sirJoho @D > Fedi, which is doomed by high turnoverThis is incorrect. At time of writing, per the fedilist.com crawler, there are 7,589 instances, 4,796,461 accounts, 535,864,952 posts.Now, you could surmise that there are a lot of idle accounts; subjectively, I see more people arriving than leaving, I see more activity all the time. But that's subjective, so for something more objective, I have numbers for that, too.FSE now receives a post from Poa.st every 6 seconds; that's just Poast, and it's apparently doubled in the last five months. The number of instances active over the last three days (in the sense that a post arrives on FSE from there) has gone up. The first two images (2020-05-18 through 2020-05-21 and 2021-01-12 through 2021-01-14) were both measuring Tuesday through Thursday (so, mid-week activity) and it's now Friday; obviously weekend traffic is higher, but we have a higher volume of posts from a larger number of instances, a trend that has continued going up. (In these images, the row count is the number of instances that have posts arriving on FSE.)This query takes a minute to run I'll have full history numbers in a little bit. In the mean time, here are these:posts_from_instances.pngposts_from_instances--2021-10-14.pngposts_from_instances--2022-03-04.png

@amerika @p @sirJoho I don’t see people dropping off that much. Anyone who actually starts posting and interacting with people seems to stick around. There are plenty of zombie accounts that post once or never and get abandoned, but every social media is littered with those. What percentage of Twitter accounts are bots or inactive?

@amerika @D @sirJoho Keep in mind these graphs are just of activities that federated to FSE, and they use the timestamp we *received* them instead of the self-reported "Published" timestamp, but 2018 FSE stayed north of 100k per week, 2019 past 200k most of the year until Gab started bot-flooding us (thus the weird spike¹), after they went away we were north of 300k all of 2020, we spent almost all of 2021 north of 400k per week with some spikes past 500k, and this year we've stayed mostly north of 500k posts per week, which I expect to continue. Again, that's just the posts/reposts that end up making it to FSE, the numbers for broader fedi are much larger.The other two graphs are one that starts its data in 2020 so you can see it without the spike from Gab, and one with a curve added to make the general trend more visible. CSV with the source data is attached, it is the result of running `copy (select extract(epoch from inserted_at::date), count(extract(epoch from inserted_at::date)) from activities where data->>'type' in ('Create', 'Announce') group by extract(epoch from inserted_at::date)) to '/tmp/activities_per_day.csv' (DELIMITER ',');`. Aggregation by week was done by a trivial awk script (`mawk -F, '{wstart = $1 - ($1%(7*24*3600)); a[wstart]+=$2}END{for(i in a) print i "," a[i]}'`).So overall, there's a clear trend, activity on fedi is going up steadily. If people are leaving (I think this number is small), more people are arriving than going away, enough that fedi is sustaining the growth. No hockey-sticks yet, but people keep peeling away and coming here from various other places.¹ The Gab spike is actually not what it looks like: it was all bots. I tried adding FSE to relays to staunch the flow of Gablins and Gab was on all the relays (unbeknownst to me), so that only got us *more* Gablin shit. I spent a lot of time analyzing the traffic to try to figure out what it was because we were still on VPSs back then and it was almost all bots. You might remember (or be able to dig up) my posts from back then where I was doing stuff like analyzing patterns to find bots. Bots don't sleep so I reasoned that would be a good way to detect them, but bots triggered by news posts *do* sleep (sort of) because journalists sleep, so that only got some of the bots, though that method almost never had a false positive. A better way to do it was to detect how many activities included a URL, whether they ever replied to someone else's top-level post, etc., and then trivially total volume past a certain threshold always meant a bot. (One bot was posting three times per second, for example; Gab didn't catch that guy for a week.) So I put together a lot of heuristics, then I'd do manual review sorted by volume and I had gotten the heuristics pretty good by the end, still very few false positives. Since most of the bots were very high-volume, killing a dozen bots usually made a noticeable difference in server load. Of course (this part was maddening), because they had softblocked FSE, they were broadcast-only: we were getting all their bot traffic and no one on Gab could see us.activities_per_week_smoothed.pngactivities_per_week.pngactivities_per_week_since_jan_2020.pngactivities_per_day.csv

@amerika @sirJoho @D > Bad argument, since interest in alternative social media has been high during this time. The great deplatforming of 2015 kicked it off and it has been accelerating."This isn't a trend, it's only been going on since half of Twitter's existence."I see fedi getting bigger, I observed it directly and I sent you the raw data and I made graphs. I don't know what you want, man. I'm not even making an argument, I'm just telling you what I can see. You've got speculation based on the premise, the premise doesn't real, so the speculation can be discarded: your gut is inconsistent with my observations. There's no argument to *make*, here's data. If you want to argue with the data, we've reached an impasse: the data doesn't look like you expect, but there's nothing to do about that unless you've got a suggestion for a change in methodology, and on the other end of that I am not going to accept someone's feels over my own observations.> Dunno how many are bots, but looking at the stream I see, there are lots of updates from projects and news sources.Maybe NAS attracts more bots than FSE does (looking at one page of NAS's timeline, it looks like 5 botposts out of 20 total, so maybe), maybe it's hard to figure out by looking because Masto just streams posts. I just checked one page of FSE's TWKN, zero bots in the most recent 20 posts. Almost everyone's TWKN is public, you can check FSE's or SPC's or KF's or wherever. I mean, I'm operating the fedilist.com crawler, I can see the network updated continuously. There are a lot of crawlers, I'm not the only one operating one, talk to anyone that's running a crawler or an instance that federates widely. A lot of the crawlers scrape post contents, but I don't think the people doing that are doing it openly so I don't know how to get in touch with them.At any rate, there's the data. FSE's data shows a continuous upwards trend since September 2018, this lines up with the data from the FediList crawler, and they both line up with my subjective observations. You can argue with the data, I won't. I'm all ears if you have any ideas but "Nuh-uh!" isn't an idea.

R has a lot of stuff for, like, talking to Postgres and Redis directly, manipulating the data, but I do all of that in awk or Ruby most of the time and then just dump it as a CSV and tell R those lines.Anyway, give me a minute, handling some sysadmin stuff for a friend, I'll pull the data down.

@graf @D @amerika @sirJoho All right, here it is, and while I was in there I figured I'd check FSE's data, too, and for good measure, tack on posts per user.The big spike on FSE is when I purged a bunch of accounts with 0 posts, which bumped the average.posts--fse.pngppu--fse.pngposts--poast.pngppu--poast.png

@graf @amerika @sirJoho @D If it's going up, it's people sticking around; it's an average so it goes down when people with a lot of posts delete their account or if a lot of people sign up, and goes up when people with no posts are purged or people post a lot. So every signup is basically someone with zero posts now contributing to the average.

@p @sirJoho @D "I see fedi getting bigger"No one has debated that. We are talking about retention.Lots of new users + none staying = the statistics you have will not differentiate that from something having problems.It's about interpretation here, and that's why "we're having a boom just like every other platform" is a bad argument.

@minespatch @p @sirJoho @neet @D It's almost impossible to tell, but what I see on the Fediverse that is concerning:* Low interactivity* Low account retentionThis suggests to me that a lot of the traffic could be automated, or just people stopping for a few weeks/months.We saw the same on some of the other startup services like Minds and Locals. Not sure how they're doing now.

@Horatii I recall telling him early on that the problem of social media was monetizing it. I can't remember if moderator costs -- which should exist, if you want the job done right -- was part of this equation.But basically, all of Silicon Valley is a begging the question argument. "We have some users, therefore we are worth money, therefore you should switch your advertising to us."For some values of "users" and "some."

@amerika @minespatch @p @sirJoho @neet Has it occurred to you that your experience might be shaped by being on the No Agenda instance and other servers don’t have the same issue? You guys literally have a user cap that has been frozen for 13 months and are invite only. Of course some of the people you knew would fall away, few people would replace them, and the only things you are going strong are bots.

@amerika @sirJoho @neet @p @minespatch I think everyone is just asking you for data.Everything in this discussion has been “I feel like” or “my gut says.” So a few larger server admins tossed you data. You said you don’t see that. So we pitch a few possible reasons your gut feeling conflicts with the data and you say “No.”I don’t know how the discussion can be productive from that point.

However, this does not say much about the nature of the activity itself.That's the rub.I like to believe in the Fedi, but I am skeptical, much as I am of other things.There's a reason Twitter (spit) is still market leader.

@amerika @D @sirJoho @neet @minespatch > I said the data does not show what it purports to.What does it show? It's data, I didn't get it from /dev/random, it shows something. You say it's all bots and I don't see that but I do see more bots if I look at NAS's timeline than FSE's. (Probably depends on time of day, and these stupid bots all post at the top of the hour, so there's a bot stampede; all the bots I have written avoid participating in the stampede by just writing any number that isn't "00" or "30" in the cron job.)That's what I'm asking, what does this data indicate? More accounts, more servers, more posts, and the rate increasing. Since the fedilist.com crawler started running, I see the same trend, and these are people paying money for domains and hosting.> It's an old programmer-versus-analyst joke, apparently playing out in real time."I answered: 'We impose on one another, and it is but lost time to converse with you whose works are only Analytics.'" — William BlakeI asked for your analysis; you've made vague, non-committal responses. Say something concrete that accounts for the data. I'm pretty good at finding bots since the whole Gab problem but I've been poring over this data a long time, fresh eyes wouldn't be a bad thing...except I can't get anything out of you, just "Eh, no, you're wrong, it's bots." I keep trying to get a sentence out of you like "Okay, I think this is what's going on, if that's true we'll see this" and then we could work out a way to detect that or conclude that it can't be detected and that we should have less confidence in the numbers. We just get "Well, it doesn't show that." Fine, at least it's some kind of assertion: back it up. Anything. Clarify.total.pngrate_of_increase.png

@amerika @sirJoho @minespatch @neet @D > We see activity, but no analysis of it, during a time when we would expect all social media activity to go up.Sure, but it's a trend I can observe directly, and have seen it happen for years. If we assume "postin shit on the internets" has reached saturation, that is, no growth in the total number of people participating, then this still indicates fedi representing a larger percentage of those people. Twitter's metrics are falling off, Facebook's, and this is one of the places those people are going. Sure, it's not growing as fast as TikTok or something like that, but they spend money to get people onto their platform, and fedi does not, because VCs are not trying to get an exit here. For social media companies, you *expect* an attempt to corner the market and a hockey-stick or the investment capital dries up because there won't be an exit event. Fedi's trajectory is different because there's not a VC funding it so it's managed differently, and it's independent nodes. With successful social media companies, the curve you expect to see is a high rate of early growth, then the rate levels off. Fedi is structurally more like Fidonet, and Fidonet's early adoption curve looks closer to what we see happening on fedi. Fedi's not really comparable to Twitter in terms of adoption or even adoption strategy, it's not managed like Twitter (it's not even managed): it's only superficially comparable in terms of feature set, so it would be more surprising if the adoption curve *did* resemble Twitter's. FSE wasn't the last FSE, Poast isn't going to be the last Poast.> this does not say much about the nature of the activity itself.Well, I gave my observations about the nature of the activity, you gave yours. You have any ideas? Creating servers, that's a different type of activity, that costs time and money, and those are constantly increasing.> There's a reason Twitter (spit) is still market leader.It's inertia and the network effect at this point; Facebook saw their first ever quarterly decrease. People don't like to hang out there so much. Twitter's slowing down but since this place is full of Twitter refugees, that's going to skew perception.fidonet_curve.png

@minespatch @p @amerika @sirJoho @TrevorGoodchild @neet @D So here’s the funny thing. The Nicecrew guys (10 guys?) bailed on Facebook and Twitter way back in 2016. They probably didn’t know about Fedi then. They met on gab. So they are gab OG. As you can probably imagine, early gab was wild Wild West social media back then.I’m only surmising what I think happened, because I’m not NiceCrew (I’m more like B-team NiceCrew?) haha.So my point is this, if the OG NiceCrew Knew about Fedi in 2016 (or whatever year it was) they would be very established Fedi participants right now.

@p @amerika @D @minespatch @neet @sirJoho Adoption depends on relative value of alternatives and cost of switching.The vast majority of factors that affect these two are reinforcing each other (think ease of use, number of familiar users, established subcultures/groups, etc)That is how you get that parabolic phase.There are still numerous improvements that can be made to the infrastructure, both small and big. From interoperability between instances (eg imagine being able to moderate a group in poast using your credentials though the bloat FE currently logged in fse), to more types of instances (imageboard, news aggregator, etc) seamlessly connected to each other, to simple frontend quality of life improvements.Now, since we are talking about movement of people organized into groups there are going to be discontinuities in the adoption since some groups will find problems as they move, leading to adoption curves in the micro level similar to those in your previous post. As said problems are gradually overcome, the parabolic effect will take over due to reinforcement.The Ukraine happening is the first one for me where I mained fse/fediverse. It is now, for my usage, a considerable faster news aggregator. I first noticed this during the Afghanistan withdrawal which was being talked about here days before it was in alternative "social media".And I don't even like the twitter-type organization, more like I actively despise it, such as the lack of a central "square"(think forum subjects or *chan boards) and likes(anti-dopamine mode and bloat FE helped me a lot in using fse).

@laurel @D @amerika @minespatch @neet @sirJoho Yeah, I think it was last year, I was talking about stuff like it was old news and Twitter people were asking what the hell that was and demanding links. Maybe it's their attempts to crack down on "misinformation" stopping things from getting out quickly, maybe it's because the Big Brother stuff after the January 6th thing made people start trying to keep their mouths shut, but things seem to be moving much faster here than there.
