PieFed is seeing quite steady growth, nice to see.

Anyone know what that blip was?

I'm curious, did anything in particular cause the sudden spike in January?

[–] UnexpectedBehavior@lemmy.world 17 points 10 hours ago

Your username might be the answer to that

I made a bunch of posts on reddit that got ~500k+ views in total.

See fedibridge to see the posts

Reddit admin didn't find bs to violate you for? They are on my ass. Not permabanned, but within a few days now I get a violation for something that isn't even against the rules, not even close, if I make a new account.

They did in the right communities.

What do you mean?

The OP promoted piefed in like r/buyfromeu, r/degoogle and r/buyfromcanada. They got majorly upvoted and thus directed traffic to here.

I joined because of one of these posts in r/buyfromeu

Im kinda surprised to see this "in the wild".

Anyone who ever wondered whether there's any alternative to reddit knows about the fediverse.

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 1 points 5 hours ago

They don't really. Even now.

Others have said even mentioning lemmy gets them targeted by administration. Come to think of it, so did I my last new account that only made it less than a week before a violation for something that wasn't even close to against the rules. But it could be a lot of things with me, I'm rather aggressive on some issues, Israel the big one, but also trashing politicians, none of which is getting tolerated as much anymore. I'm probably on the list of the administration of people to bump off social media. Sounds paranoid but I bet I'm right, but I digress.

I've mentioned the Fediverse many times on Reddit and have never been targeted.

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 hours ago

I learned about lemmy on reddit. Maybe everyone is getting targeted for other reasons. One thing is for sure, the administration violations are not always in good faith, not by a long shot.
