Hyphen Traffic

Our big boost from yesterday and actual death of Kinja Oppo has mostly stayed with spikes in traffic around lunch time and so on. I kind of nerd out over this stuff, but if you're bored with it let me know and I'll stop posting these

We're north of 460 users and still growing with over 100 users logged in right now!

Keep it up oppo - this is awesome!

I for one love this kinda stuff. If I could measure, chart and graph all my life's data I would.

Currently under contract with a company that does data visualization. So Bring It! @jminer

[jminer]

@captain-cayman That's one of those things I've always been terrible at doing but love the results.

[2Poor_sh2Furious]

Plz no stoppy

I enjoy seeing how the site's been growing / when traffic spikes.

Me too - I'll publish some week long ones too I think

[BicycleBuck]

You can't stop now. We're addicted.

[Jarrett]

These are fantastic. I do a lot of data visualization for work so I appreciate these kinds of graphs.

OPPO on DT has 600 members and 800k views.

Pick up the pace, you slackers!

But seriously, this is incredible just 10(?) days in.

@jminer can you do a breakdown of the corresponding financial aspect? Things like: it costs this much to run, we've collected X so far, we're good to Y date, the excess money is under my mattress, etc? What's the plan here to make this awesomeness sustainable? I don't want you to have to fund this out of your pocket, or end up both running the technical aspects and fundraising too.

[Highlander]

Get some ads up and monetize this site.

Just joking...

I'll work up something, right now people have been very generous with donations so we're in solid shape for a while. Since the site is a week and a half old long term costs are pretty far from certain. Hopefully in another week or so though we fall into a pattern and I can make some reliable predictions. There is also a merch store coming.

@davesaddiction I wonder how many ex-Kinjoppo members are here and not there or vice versa? I see a few names posting here that I don't see posting there (including me: haven't had a chance to try out their editor yet, though I do lurk a bit), and a few there who haven't popped up here (e.g. Ramblin Rover). Be a pity if we wound up split for good.

[davesaddiction]

@distraxi I was worried about that last week, but much less so now. If you look at the posts from today over there, there are very few comments. Nothing like the activity here.

This is "home" - maybe DT will be our front page (if we don't make our own).

[WhoIsTheLeader]

@davesaddiction Definitely. You simply don't get the engagement and conversation on DT you get here even if you get tons of views to pad your portfolio. Useful if you plan on including something in a writing portfolio but not very rewarding.

[davesaddiction]

@whoistheleader That's a good way to look at it. Also, once you post something on DT, they "own" it. Something to consider.

[WhoIsTheLeader]

@davesaddiction The same thing was true of Kinja but they bandied it about less.

How does one join Oppo on Drive Tribe?

@his_stigness

Here ya go: https://drivetribe.com/t/opposite-lock-WsyTisBFQiuJU7cDJZttOw/chrono

[davesaddiction]

@whoistheleader Oh, for sure.

And Fb, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok... (actually maybe that's not true in all cases)

[WhoIsTheLeader]

@davesaddiction Most of those platforms on paper own everything on it but in practice don't use that right or defend it because it would lead to far more problems than it creates.

[sn4cktimes]

@jminer Week long / month long traffic updates would be cool for sure.

[RallyDarkstrike]

@jminer I do love seeing how we are growing, keep it coming!

Me too - I check it like 5/6 times a day.

Once we get that old I'll start doing it.
