Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Where are they coming from???
My conspiracy brain says
, but it's probably just coincidence and me not understanding the linear passage of time very well. I say "a month ago" but that could really mean anywhere from 3 weeks ago to 3 months ago.
Probably half and half. Reddit and the other Lemmys suck, so it wouldn't surprise me that people gravitate to us because we are so large.
Probably a bump to do with re-federation.
It's shame they're around while we lost most of the trans bsky user's that jumped here when bsky was looking dog shit.
Consider that many comrades on here periodically recycle their accounts for opsec reasons.
That wouldn't result in a net gain of new users though, just replacing old users with new ones.
We don't know how many users are here, only how many accounts are here
