An incredibly pixelated meme that we are also not obligated to have the skills to improve. The meme reads: 'That metric won't stop me, because I can't count!'
Some would say that we're just celebrating natural variance based on a 4-week rolling average that saw their activity metrics decline slightly while ours held stable, but we're historians and therefore not obliged to be numerate.

A good 100k of our users are just @gankom.bsky.social in a recursive trenchcoat, to be fair.
02.02.2026 14:03 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0That's actually an interesting question - we remove about 25% of comments according to Reddit's internal analytics (3.2k removed vs 9.3k published). It's not actually inconceivable that r/conservative removes more in either an absolute or even proportional sense.
