Not long ago Reddit introduced a new policy thatpunishes people for upvoting bad posts, which includes posts about Luigi Mangione. After that, people have been moving into Lemmy as an alternative.
This reference may or may not be before your time … forgive me, I’ve seen this before.
Think of it as “Eternal September” and you’ll be able to take it in your stride … brace yourself, this is going to happen more and more, at least for a while.
To be fair, I’m only noticing because I’ve switched to Voyager and it shows which accounts are newer, but there’s a ton! My instinct is to think troll farms. But, I’ll be happy to live in an eternal September.
Yeah, Voyager here too. The indicator helps evaluate if I care enough to respond. As for Eternal September, it was a doozy and the road was pretty rough.
Why are there so many fucking accounts less than 30 days old? Do y’all just keep making accounts every week? Are there this many newer Lemmings?
Reddit did another stupid, so there’s plenty of new joiners

nah, they’re all me. I’m creating accounts to fake the numbers :)

That said, I’m still here, so there’s that 😇
Pretty sure it’s another wave of refugees.
