the fediverse has a heartbeat

48 comments

Most users are in US or western Europe timezones I would guess.

Although you could say the whole planet has a bit of a heart beat. Surely there are fewer people awake when the Pacific ocean faces the sun?

- My guess would be this is one of the few major bots that ramp up its posting during Prime Times. I've been trying to use the fediversee for almost a year now and I check post multiple times a day, everyday. The vast, and I mean upwards of 90% or more of the post in my feed are just repost bots from Reddit or news aggregator bots. I'd be surprised if more than 10% of the post generated come from actual humans. I'm sure some of the server owners could give us much more insight on this with post by IP statistics. But my guest regardless is human interaction is pretty low.

  Turn off bots in your profile and then ban the two or three bots that aren’t marked as bots and your feed will improve immensely. I forget that there even are bots on this site until someone mentions it in a comment.

  You can just block bot users when you see them. In my experience, it's not a big problem.

  I have the opposite impression, that's interesting

  Yep, bots and users that have scripts to post automatically... I don't think that should be allowed, since it's basically being a bot without marking itself as one (I have view bots disabled but those still show up)

- Definitely a high presence of US users and the occassional (western) European among all.
  Most of the times they represent themselve through their instance.
  
  But it's the same as with Reddit: Mentioning a thing without mentioning a country = US.

  Ah, my favorite way of trolling when I felt like it. Dispute something and eventually go "Ah, sorry didn't know you were US specific with this" when I finally learn the revelation.

Based on that EKG, the fediverse is in some sort of v-tach and blood is not pumping efficiently enough to have a pulse

  I always wondered what they use for ground when they are zapping people. Does it just go to the bed frame and out the ground wire the bed is plugged into?

  Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

  Nah. Defibrillators use direct current. Unless they are covered in salt water, there is no reason for the electricity to go anywhere other than in a relatively straight line

  It looks like a mix of both, but the widened QRS complexes are what I'm going off of.

This is seasonality.

Seasonality is a characteristic of a time series and refers to periodic and generally regular and predictable changes that occur over a year.

To make it more generic, drop the “over a year” and just refer to the periodic signal over time idea. You can find additional signals by how you bin the data, eg monthly or day of week.

- Seasonality specifically refers to periodic signals over the course of a year. Any other interval means it's not seasonality. You can read that yourself in the definition you quoted.

  I do this for a living. Seasonality as a generic term refers to temporally periodic signals but can even be extended to talk about non-temporal aspects of a signal. The same math used in areas like econometrics to remove periodicity in annual data can be applied to multiple domains. The main motivation to removing or isolating periodicity is to allow for investigation into the underlying phenomena, or to allow the investigation of the sources of periodicity independently of other drivers. In every case, though, seasonality is an acceptable term in everything I’ve written, read, and worked on.
