5808 active users, 2 more than in March.

Some of this will be due to new features in the latest version but I think most of it is because previously PieFed was not accurately keeping track of user activity. Now that it is, the numbers are bigger.

    I’ve been seeing a lot of new usernames but tbh I was writing them off as potential bots from the Tankie side trying to push election year propaganda.

        Yeah the whole threadiverse is the size of one medium-sized Facebook group.

        You’d be wrong. ML is literally a training ground for information warfare. Nobody is seeking influence on the fediverse yet, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have value as a training ground for teaching people how to curate influence on larger platforms like reddit and Facebook.

        And yet Hexbear exists and it is overflowing with actual bot accounts. There is no debate, here, there is an active payed and militant psyops campaign aiming to radicalize users on the Fediverse.
