LW and the tankie triad hold 40% of the monthly active userbase of Lemmy.

    I get that people enjoy bashing the “tankie triad” at every opportunity and all, but bringing them up in this circumstance doesn’t really make sense. It’s not like people are flocking to them in droves, you only end up there if you really want to. Lemm.ee and sh.itjust.works are both bigger than lemmy.ml at this point and I wouldn’t call the 500 or so MAUs on Lemmygrad a problematic over-concentration of users. That’s less than 1% of the user base. Hexbear’s recent MAU stats are hard to find but even if we’re generous and say it’s 2k that’s like 3% of the user base.

    Lemmy.world alone is like 33% of the user base, that is the real problem here.

      I see way way more people complaining about tankies then I do actual tankies and I’m on one of the “tankie” instances. I usually just browse /all though so maybe that’s why ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Ugh, you’d think that number would be lower after their handling of the luigi talk. Also, hexbear has 2k users? I think I could almost name the ones I see regularly, and that’s definitely lower than 30 or so.

        Hexbear is more self-sufficient and thus most users stay on local or Grad. It was its own thing for years before it ever started federating, and as a result is self-sustainable.

        Hexbear used to have like 1.5k back in the day I think and I assumed they’d grown a bit, but I couldn’t find any recent data from a cursory web search so could be way off base there.

          They claimed the rules in their home nation needed them to delete almost all pro Luigi posts and comments. In any case they did delete most Luigi content. I deleted my Lemmy.world account after that, I’m not here for censorship
