From what I’ve read, they’re not hurting from any of this at all. It’s all back to normal. Which is very disappointing.
I’ve heard rumors that they are leveraging LLM’s like ChatGPT to simulate normal user activity, and that’s disregarding the fact that the API cutoff only happened 2 days ago, and many may not have switched yet. I wasn’t able to verify this anywhere, but based on Lemmy numbers alone, I think we have enough to cast reasonable doubt on the platform’s DAU. I think we’ll have a much better idea of how many folks actually stuck around in a few weeks, or even a month.
