Nothing major to report, just a nice statistics update with a bit of commentary.
The details of this weeks prune of the member-list -
16507 Members before this week's prune was run. (588 new accounts since last week)
30 Day Prune has removed 311 dead accounts. (35 less were removed this Prune.)
This leaves our count at 16196 Members after the prune.
~1500 Peak Concurrent users this week. (Chat participation feels a bit lower though.)
Updated stats on Bans and Blacklist -
2601 Discord bans (+142 new from previous)
3011 accounts in total are now Blacklisted by @minnowsupport (+160 from previous!)
The Charts
Member count data over time:
This shows the trend of members gained over time. I use the number of users counted after each purge each week.
Blacklist Counts by Type:
This gives a breakdown of the major categories we list an account under in our Blacklist.
In summary:
Definitely slower growth in the new joins this week. We feel there is likely a correlation with some of the more persistent multi-account groups finally giving up.
A quick review of things that get you blacklisted:
A single image or even multiple images, with very little text or only a basic bit of information with it.
An embedded YouTube or DTube video with zero additions to the post that provide value.
Attempting to gain multiple upvotes outside our 1 per cool-down by any means.
Any major violation of our community guidelines and rules. (This usually has to do with treatment of other users on the platform.)
Not all of these result in a ban from Discord since we want you to learn and improve.
