So is that how you do it -- make that graph look like it's actually showing something since the recent formatting change?

Looks like you're looking on your phone, and the graph show some uplift at the recent end

Myself, looking full-screen 1920@1080@60p on a 32 inch monitor, full-screen Firefox browser tab, I see only the faintest, softest curves upward

Pretty unimpressive, really

Also interesting to note that the time scale is daily for me with a significant gap between data points, while you've got four-day data points all run together

Interesting to consider *how* the data is presented affects the message delivered, I guess

Bet DanSup and Gargron like the data rendition you see better than the one I see...

Yes: I am feeling a bit snarky today...

I have FediDB open in a tab daily

Some time ago I noticed a formatting change (really it was done with the time distribution) whereby in a browser tab, full screen HD 32" monitor, the top page, lead graphs were all virtually flat lines

Just thought to myself 'who would want this data portrayed in such an uninformative way?' but I see now it was reformatted for phones, because as we all know, *everyone* views the web through an "app" on their phones

Docktorow really needs a re-write to discuss the "enappification of the Internet"

That "enshitification" shchtick is so 2000s

@FinchHaven oh. It’s a graph with numbers at the side showing a 40% increase, people should be able to interpret it
