At this point, it’s become a bit meme on Reddit to share the creepy or disgusting DMs you receive. However, nothing like that has happened to me here yet, even though I’ve been active for the equivalent of three or four of those pervy chat invitations on Reddit. I’m no less active here.
sigh I just have to do the math for this one, I just NEED to know the actual number.
according to reddit they had 1 billion monthly active users in 2022, then they stopped reporting it for I assume stock reasons 🤷♀️
we know Lemmy monthly active users is ~40,000. I added all of the totals from piefed statistics page for Lemmy + Piefed + Mbin https://piefed.social/statistics?software=Lemmy
so that’s 1,000,000,000 vs 40,000
that’s a ratio of 25,000 to 1. For every one Lemmy user there is 25,000 people on Reddit. that’s 0.004%
