 djacu | This is not a representation of what we are trying to do. We do not:
- promote reddit data-harvesting / ad product
- promote hateful comments / users
What we strive to do is:
- grow the Nix user base
- advertise the awesome aspects of the nix project
- provide avenues for people to find what they need (including help even if it is in an "unofficial" space)
There are 25k users on reddit and 2.2k on discord. People find their happy nix home there. The website exists to aggregate resources about nix that users might find useful. That's why we link.

are these numbers even comparable? not sure why they're getting thrown around over and over again Comparable to what exactly? | 17:36:23 |
 raitobezarius | It's not because you click a button to join a subreddit there's 25k people actively posting over there. | 17:36:48 |
| raitobezarius | Same for 2.2k users on Discord, to be fair. | 17:36:54 |
| @paperdigits:matrix.org | Same for all spaces. There aren't 1600 people in the matrix room that are active. | 17:38:29 |
| @paperdigits:matrix.org | This doesn't seem to be going anywhere good. Maybe we should take a break and enjoy what is left of Sunday. | 17:39:54 |
 tomberek | A decision has been made and is being implemented. Continuing this discussion here is not productive. The marketing team is aware of the topic. If there are further concerns, please move this to Meta/Moderation (or Meta/Marketing) on Discourse as the appropriate venue where we can apply slow mode and have more thoughtful statements. | 17:42:44 |

Comparable to what exactly? between each other … something like MAU would be comparable, total user count not so much | 20:04:06 |
