This is actually pretty good user retention. Most platforms bleed way more users after a surge in sign ups (eg Mastodon, Pixelfed, Threads, Bluesky).

I feel lied to here though. Where’s the rat picture, Hannah?

Name and shame! Name and shame!

I don’t know what’s the worse, the lack of title or the fact you used 4 zero width spaces when you only needed 3.

Lemmy 1.0 will have community summaries as a separate field from the display name and the sidebar, so hopefully people will stop using the display names as summaries (*cough* !climate@slrpnk.net, !egg_irl@lemmy.blahaj.zone).

Damn, no AstralSpiff videos of p.s.

But saying you wish someone ill without specifying absolutely implies wishing them harm.

IDK, I’ve never taken it to mean wanting harm.

No they’re not? Wanting the next Harry Potter thing to flop and her lose a bunch of money is wishing misfortune, but it’s hardly wishing harm.

What? Wanting misfortune to befall someone is literally what wishing someone ill means?

Wishing someone bad fortune is not wishing harm.

I also wish ill to JK Rowling.

This is real, btw.

It was a response to openly mocking people’s choice to raise their children Christian.

It really wasn’t: https://p.feddit.uk/post/feddit.uk/31856602?thread=0.18336647#18336647

The premise of the meme is that’s it’s hypocritical to think that children can’t understand the ideas of being gay or trans, but somehow can decide to be Christian. Your response is mostly non sequitur and implies it’s actively dangerous to teach kids about gay people.

Now you’re just moving the goal posts. You claimed the article was AI generated and assumed it was talking about a separate entity also called Matrix, when neither of those things are true. I also didn’t ‘just quote something’, I quoted the above article.

But fine:

• Web3 and Automattic funding;
• Status.im funding.

The article shortens venture capital to VC. It also didn’t confuse the Matrix Foundation with a VC firm of the same name, it’s talking about Element (formerly Riot). Like, the article says this in pretty simple English, I’m genuinely confused how you could’ve missed it:

In roughly the beginning, there was two organizations that came out of the project: The Matrix Foundation and New Vector Ltd / Riot / Element. The idea was for New Vector Ltd to carry out the necessary work and bring in the necessary funding for the Matrix Foundation to thrive. Or well, so I’ve been told.

They had multiple funding rounds lead by the likes of status.im, Automattic, the AI and Web3 company protocol labs and others; You get the gist, lots of VC and similar funding also a questionable amount of “Web3” and bullshit generation AI. Element was then tasked with using that to build the software that would power Matrix.
