Google doesn't care if you want search to be opt-in.

reiver , 6 months ago to Random stuff #AllYourBases with @atomicpoet & @reiver Are Friendica & Guppe part of the Threadiverse? Or is the Threadiverse just Lemmy & Kbin? How many people joined Mastodon during the Reddit-migration? #DiscoverTheGreatApe #Fediverse #Friendica #Guppe #Lemmy #Kbin #Mastodon #RedditBlackOut #RedditMigration #Theadiverse REIVER: "The Fediverse has grown quite a bit. We also had quite a spike [in growth] — it was kind of a side effect [of] when Reddit was making some changes to how they dealt with their APIs and charging application developers and whatnot." "It brought a lot of people over to a section of the Fediverse called the Threadiverse. Which includes Lemmy, and Kbin — and maybe also Guppy and Friendica, because they have group support also. But a lot of people came over there [to the Threadiverse], mostly to Lemmy, BUT — while this was happening, there were a lot of people joining Mastodon also. So there was a spike [of people joining Mastodon] during this [the Reddit-migration to Lemmy & Kbin], even though Mastodon was not the target — or where people were exodusing to." "I remember watching this and at some points, I remember it being like, you know, about 6,000 people were joining [Mastodon] per hour, right‽ Which is quite interesting."
