@bronze I don't frame it that way. Maybe that makes me naive or stupid. For me, the old saying rings true: no one ever leaves, they just go afk for a while. That's the way it used to be, anyway.

@dcc @bronze everyone loves numbers. Fully 25% of my follows are accounts that don't exist anymore because the instances are gone. I'm not immune.

PNGv3 finally has CICP which is great, and one of the features that attracts me to JXL. the problem is that nothing plays nice with PNGv3. also png is lossless, that image is lossy, im not slinging millions of bytes if i dont need to man.

It's not about quantity (lively) but quality.

The top creators are on X and Substack.

Fedi is IRC for dropouts, thus more accepting.

@amerika I'd rather go amongst the human dropouts than """content creators""" on non-free platforms. At least we're not sucking advertiser dick.

@sun @prettygood

I think social media is itself probably geared toward content competition.

Forums had a greater stability to them.

That being said, there is a small cultlike group on Substack who seem to have bypassed monetization entirely.

Just yesterday I went through all WebPee I could find in uploads (uploaded by mistake of course — thanks to PleromaFE's new defaults) and replaced them with *clearly superior* JPEG-XLs! 😝

And I just noticed l that Tusky/Husky/Pachli can't decode them — because Android is a total bucket of shite marseysigh
