2 measurements spanning 2 days. Dots are measurements; the straight line between them is drawn to join them, not to claim we know the path taken in between — snapshots are recorded only when a count changes, so gaps mean “no change observed”, never “interpolated”. The vertical axis spans 25–27 and does not start at zero.

Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 17 posts for this entry, the most recent from 13 March 2024. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

What changed after the bullshit people talked related to Reddit API Blackout AND WE WERE THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD SAYING THIS WAS BULLSHIT? NOTHING! All works fine like previously, Reddit works on Telegram, if Apollo shit is not available doesn't matter (was already shit before). STOP BEING SHEEPS believing every bullshit! Use your brain instead. https://t.me/SocialNetworkFacts/4 https://t.me/SocialNetworkFacts/6 ht

One thing is sure: on Telegram there is more law, rights, fact check, science, true or official informations etc. than everywhere else. Many new channels ready to be released too Because it's time that our planet change! Not only related to the shitty opinion people, big brands, etc. have against Telegram, by discriminating such social at all! without even understand that the features available ARE NOT AVAILABLE ON

The results were always the same.

2023 Reddit blackout facts to new Steve Huffman API paid changes compared to other similar episodes still available or happened in the past. Seems a bit the reaction people had to the Ukraine Russia War compared to Israel. Good to do that, but should not happen just rarely for few things. Please note this is an old post we shared previously with another brand and we post that now related to our message https://t.me

The Reddit reality after weeks of this mass protest full of bullshit wrote by moderators and others? a) Nothing changed and people will forget such things really fast, like they always do with all things. Even stats are still the same b) As always people acted like sheeps under social pressure @StopDieWelle, when at the end ALL WORKS FINE LIKE BEFORE!!! Even all our projects still work fine (this cannot be said wit

Now it's time to talk about shit social networks and pro pollution social networks that are not fighting for good things. We already talked about Flickr weeks ago, where they disabled all climate changes projects, like all other projects, so no matter the topic. Flickr is definitely one of the worst in 2023, in fact we included it (months before this story) in the list of social networks that downgraded the service

Between all socials, Reddit is the worst! It's always down ... even more than Facebook / Meta / WhatsApp / Instagram

Without the fact that stats are back again (WTF Elon Musk ...) changing a brand name will not fix problems, since behind X (new Twitter) there is still Elon Musk ... 2) this post contains bullshit (like the Reddit API bullshit) a) Reddit and Twitter posts can be still read on third services! (just downgraded) b) It's not the only social media! Do we want to talk about all "posts marked as SPAM in Reddit, even if yo

Measuring the Monetary Value of Online Volunteer Work https://perma.cc/JJG5-TJE9 Remember that Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Gab, Telegram, Discord, russian socials and all social networks where a group of people can write or posts always require moderation, that get done for free. Facebook don't pay you, Telegram too, and all other are nothing better! So just considering Reddit is fully wrong. Considering the fact t

Upcoming Reddit blackout and the future of third-party applications https://perma.cc/X8LH-ZQBV Stevie Chancellor, Ph.D.: “Reddit's decision to charge a hefty fee for API access is harmful to creative use of its API and data. To be clear, there are companies who take advantage of Reddit's dataset and work to benefit only themselves — think of large-scale AI models that use scraped data from all over the internet to

Showing the 12 most recent of 17 posts we hold for @RedditBlackout. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.

Citation-graph rank

Citation-graph rank — 721,475 of 1,336,469entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.

Mentions

Named by 1 registered channel — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.

A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
