It's No. 1 in percentage of Nazis, though.
You Should Know
YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason WHY YSK:
In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true:
Disinformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.
Rule 12- Linking directly to a video as a source is not acceptable.
Video only posts are responsible for an outsized portion of rules violations. Your post must contain text and meet the requirements of the previous rules.
Rule 13- If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

Totally unforgivable there are still so many politicians, reporters and self-respecting organisations on there.
Inertia. Much harder to "do something" in an enterprise than as an individual user.
Truth Social is probably higher
What about Trurh Social?
There's really just one guy, but he's quite active.
Yea but that's 100% Nazis
With Meta paying Nazis that are too Nazi for X, not for long.
Wow, to fall behind Pinterest is quite an achievement (derogatory)
The only "social network" my teenager has asked permission to make an account on is Pinterest.
I was a little confused at the request, because in my mind Pinterest was a defunct site that no one used, but apparently it's popular with at least some of the younger generation.
I've come around slightly on Pinterest. Not fully--it's still vapid and there's a lot of attempted lock-in--but there is some good stuff on there, and its attempt at curating creativity is kind of refreshing.
kids use it as a backdoor to access TikTok/Youtube shortform content.
I assumed it was a dying platform but then I found out why it's so popular again - kids uae it as a backdoor to access TikTok/Youtube shortform content.
Entire Fediverse on that chart would be 1.2, according to https://fediverse.observer/stats&months=12
Fediverse monthly active users has been going down. I’m starting to notice my Mastodon feed not having the people I follow anymore, because of they consolidated their alternative social media in Bluesky only.
Interesting. According to that chart it's been going up.
It depends on the scale. I read it as the last few months going down.
For some reason Twitter specifically is like black tar heroin to politicians. Even post-Musk, left wing politicians like AOC and Bernie are still giga active on the platform.
Has anyone ever used pinterest on purpose
I even excluded it from my search engines results.
Yes
Why
It's useful when gathering ideas for a new project, like decorating a room, or building a garden, especially if you want to share it with someone.
Fair
Good riddance honestly.
Even when Jack was managing that shithole it was still a shithole. Magnitudes better than the nuclear wasteland it is now but a shithole none the less.
Btw the embeddedscience.org article you linked is, at least
...
Why do people still use the Nazi pedophile app
Niche content that either is hard to find elsewhere or you will be using something like TikTok which is in no way better.
I interviewed at a company in San Francisco that split an office space with Pinterest, and I casually asked during the interview if anyone actually uses Pinterest and the HR person said that the company I was interviewing with was moving to another location because Pinterest bought the entire building. This was a huge building in downtown San Francisco. I still don't know who uses Pinterest, but apparently a lot of people use it.
Pinterest is a social network?
I kind of feel the same about YouTube, but I do know they have comments at least…
I love looking at stuff like this and not knowing what half of these things are.
You dont have peeble on doop? Boomer.
I know all of them even if I don't have active accounts on there...
Edit: Actually the only ones I've never had an active account on are Messenger and Kuaishou. My datafootprint is an excavation site.
The difference is every journalist in the world is addicted to twitter and everything spoken or written about in the news is just what they were talking about on twitter yesterday
Which is why I don't bother to watch the news anymore. I can go straight to the source. I read some print news and that's about it.
You'd think a fluffed up BBS would be easily replaceable.
Its a self-suck fest for people who think of themselves as being "in media"
It's the accessibility factor that's important. It's called the "digital town square" not just because of the user count (which isn't high compared to Facebook or Whatsapp) but because of how easy it is to access. Musk's changed that and now you need to log in to see some (all?) xeets, but... most of the social media on that chart requires login and/or app, I think reddit is the most notable exception (or was, now they also require login to use the web frontend I guess). But then reddit requires you to actually click on the posts, which is more effort, whereas xitter just shows you everything in your feed, so if a politician or celebrity's xeet is in it, you're seeing it.
Idk, there's just something about it that screams it's better for announcements and such than most other social media platforms.
There has to be a massive overlap in the Meta communities but even so, they've probably got half the world's population feeding them data. That's pretty terrifying.
🤔 Even after reading the "Why YSK" section, I still don't know what to do with this information. Maybe I'm missing something that should be obvious? I've never been much of a social media guy
I think a lot of people are struggling to make the switch because "everyone is on twitter". A YSK like this might help people see that it really isn't true, and you can absolutely make the switch.
Make the switch... to Facebook? Or Instagram? Because you might have noticed, fediverse (or even bluesky) don't even show up there...
Yeah, you raise a good point there. I am not a huge social media person either, so I was kind of under the impression that instagram would be at the very least a little bit better than twitter, but I concede that it's entirely based on vibes.
Maybe it's for advertisers or start-ups who want to figure out where the biggest audience is?
But then again, how do we know these numbers aren't just bots?
Guess it's a weird side thing for me. On the one hand, I probably won't use this knowledge for anything, but I'm glad to have heard it, if nothing else. Weird.
No, if you don't use it, you're not missing anything.
It's the users, advertisers, investors and politicians, who should know if they still believe it to be an important platform.
Twitter has American politicians, celebrities, press, and corporations, as well as world leaders and they all still use it to blabber publicly, so it doesn't need to cater the the proles.
Yeah, while it is draw for majority of people it is the reason I stayed away from it because the concept of social media brought to you by TMZ sounded like a nightmare. But, those who want to feel closer to celebrities or get the opportunity to go viral love it.
Might be overlap between those who like sharing personal things on social media, and those who don't see a problem with things like meta glasses due to finding the concept of not putting your entire life on social media bizzare.
because twitter exists just for nazis and paedophiles.
For a moment I thought "wow didn't know Snapchat is so popular" ...
Is there any actual 3rd party verification of the users or is it just "trust me bro!"?
These things are notoriously difficult to measure accurately, but this is from Statistica, which has a reputation for pretty good metrics. At the very least, one would expect their metrics to be comparable across the analysis, if not necessarily a perfect measure of absolute numbers.
You almost got the name of your source right, good job!
