It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
You know some bad news about Twitter just dropped when you start seeing Musk inventing new metrics like “user seconds”

X / Twitter's user base has stopped growing under Elon Musk | Mashable
So that's definitely biased by bots being logged in and active 24/7, right?
before i was perma-banned for supporting Palestine most of my time was spent blocking porn bots which were really the only things that ever seemed to see my posts/responses anyway

The fact that Ecks couldn’t even stop the most basic filter evasion technique shows that they don’t want to do anything about it. They can charge more for ads by boosting user metrics
And it turns out you’re not Show more
I thought I was Show more
368m estimated users would mean they are pretending they average ~1000 seconds (16 minutes) per user
damn i wish i only used 16 minutes on the internet 
But they are estimating 570m users, so it's even less than that, right? Or am I too dumb to read the graphic correctly?
That's monthly active, so the daily active could potentially be much lower (idk if it actually is)
Oh good call, the other 2 metrics are daily, I thought they all were
user-seconds
Pfffft, everyone knows that the really important metrics are bit-meters and post-hertz. Everything else is just nonsense.
meters and Hertz
This but unironically
Damn, 1500 man years wasted a day on Twitter
Hexbear has 2 Trillion user-seconds a day!
6.7146336351e+52 user planck time
that’s 100M user-hours. assuming bot activity isn’t included, that’s a sad number even compared to other dying social media sites like insta and fb that have billions of active users. id like to see this stat for tiktok
Thought the tilde were minus signs for a second. That'd be more line with expectations, like who the fuck uses twitter still?
