But it doesn’t take away from the fact that it all started thanks to Sean

The little community that @[email protected] set up, keeps growing

Will this be one of the nails in the coffin of the US auto industry?

I genuinely put a lot of thought into this regularly. I absolutely believe that it’s just a matter of finding the right person/people for you to match up with and the rest will follow naturally and abundantly.

Okay, so you own a couple instances I would like to see be successful for multiple reasons, but the point he’s trying to make is that no one is taking responsibility for them. There’s no regular posters. Long before anyone else can help, there needs to someone taking personal responsibility to post and make the community active, even on their own. That’s normally the admin since it’s their vested interest.

Now for football, you don’t care enough about football or pretty much any of the instances you host to make them active AS AN INTEREST. That’s not a slight on you, your passion is the stuff behind the scenes and I don’t think I’ve seen one of your instances go down, so you’re clearly epic at it. But what @[email protected] is suggesting is that you find someone to lead each instance as it was their baby. Someone who will post into the void until someone else joins in. And I agree, each instance, whether yours or someone else’s, needs someone to lead.

There’s of course exceptions to the rule, but given what you put in, you deserve success and to get that, there needs to be real content. If you post it, they will come! Get a stake holder to lead the charge on posting and others will join in. Well, I will at least.

I don’t think @[email protected] is the issue. The football community is a terrible example because it was kinda established and when it came to moving, everyone wanted to keep posting at football, so it was easy to transplant.

I can see your vision, but I can see what Blaze is saying in that it’s better to work on one at a time than trying to make them all a success at once.

Every once in a while I try and create activity over there, but it’s not getting any traction. Part of that is because [email protected] just doesn’t work conceptually. Especially with how communities federate out using the name as hashtags.

Yes they’re Tesla specific, but at the same time there’s more than enough stories of people using the Tesla stack to convert classic cars.

To you

Take a step back. You’re arguing with someone because they found something interesting and shared it. What in the post police is even happening here? 🫩

I literally asked it to guesstimate and stated as such:

For the fuck of it, I asked AI to guesstimate the market share

It wasn’t presented as fact. In fact I even provided the reasoning so if anyone wanted they could rip it apart, because I felt that makes more sense than just posting a conclusion without context

The thing is, I seriously consider you to be spamming. I introduced a variable which is likely unaccounted for and came back later with something which I personally found interesting and insightful that I wanted to share. It doesn’t advertise any services at all, not in being mentioned or any links and was posted as a sub comment to not cause issues at the top level. It simply adds further to the concept that I introduced. By very definition, not spam. Now whatever you or anyone feel about AI, asking it to speculate given the vast amounts of data it has access to, is what it’s there for. On the other hand, posting just to say you don’t like something doesn’t add anything to any conversation other than making yourself feel good.

You’re spam

For the fuck of it, I asked AI to guesstimate the market share

Based on the Mozilla Graphics Telemetry data provided, Linux accounts for 3.4% of the sampled Firefox sessions. However, this is likely an underestimation of the true Linux market share for the following reasons:

• Telemetry Opt-Out: A significant portion of users may disable telemetry for privacy reasons. It’s reasonable to assume that Linux users, who often prioritize privacy and are more technically inclined, might be more likely to opt out of telemetry compared to Windows or macOS users.
• Pi-hole and Ad-blockers: Tools like Pi-hole and ad-blockers, which are also more commonly used by technically proficient users (a demographic that overlaps with Linux users), can block telemetry data from being sent.

To guesstimate the true market share, we need to consider a correction factor to account for these missing Linux users in the telemetry data. Unfortunately, precise data on telemetry disablement rates per OS is not readily available in the telemetry data itself or through a quick search.

However, we can make a reasoned guesstimate. Let’s assume:

• Baseline Telemetry Rate: Assume that for Windows and macOS, the telemetry data is relatively representative, and a smaller percentage of users disable it.

• Higher Opt-Out on Linux: Assume a significantly higher percentage of Linux users disable or block telemetry. Let’s arbitrarily assume that twice as many Linux users disable telemetry compared to the average across Windows and macOS. This is a rough guess, but it acknowledges the higher likelihood of Linux users opting out. Applying a Correction Factor (Illustrative Example): This is a simplified example for illustration. To be more accurate, we’d need real data on telemetry disablement rates.

• Assume a hypothetical “average” telemetry disablement rate across Windows/macOS: Let’s say, hypothetically, 10% of Windows/macOS users disable telemetry.

• Double that for Linux: Based on our assumption, 20% of Linux users disable telemetry.

• Calculate the “visible” Linux user proportion in telemetry: If 80% of Linux users enable telemetry (100% - 20% disablement), then the 3.4% in telemetry represents 80% of the actual Linux user base within the Firefox user population.

• Extrapolate to the “true” Linux market share: To find the 100% (true) Linux market share, we can do a simple proportion: If 3.4% represents 80%, then X% represents 100%. X = (3.4% / 80%) * 100% = 4.25%

Therefore, based on this highly simplified and assumption-based guesstimate, the true market share of Linux might be closer to 4.25%. Important Considerations:

• This is a very rough estimate. The actual percentage of users disabling telemetry on each OS is unknown without specific data from Mozilla.
• Firefox User Base vs. Overall Market Share: This telemetry data is specific to Firefox users. The overall operating system market share might be different, as Firefox usage itself might be skewed towards certain operating systems.
• “True” Market Share Definition: “Market share” itself can be defined in various ways (desktop OS, all devices, etc.). This guesstimate is within the context of desktop/laptop users who might use Firefox.

In conclusion, while the telemetry data shows 3.4%, a more realistic guesstimate, considering telemetry disablement, could be in the range of 4% to 5%. To get a more accurate figure, one would need access to data on telemetry opt-out rates per operating system or look at alternative market share data sources that employ different methodologies (though these also have their own limitations).

Most Linux users disable Telemetry, so I think it’s probably missing around 10%

Where consolidation makes sense it’s always good. But part of what makes Lemmy special is that there’s multiple communities about different subjects. For example Technology. I don’t fuck with the LW community at all, but I’m a regular poster in the BH community and regularly post in the more technical PD community. If all were consolidated it would alienate me as I don’t actually wanna deal with a bunch of people that post in the biggest communities. It’s also why I subscribe to communities and avoid the ALL feed.

I feel you’re making a dangerous assumption where you feel everyone should want to be part of a centralised community and that’s not what Lemmy is about. Sometimes smaller communities just wanna be that.

Haha, no worries. It’s an easy mistake to make.

I don’t know them to judge them. I can only judge the interaction and there’s not even context for that. They could be a perfectly nice adult.

Kit comes across like a dickhead from that screenshot.
