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.
