So, I got site-wide banned from reddit a while ago due to using the word “purge” on a post and since then I have been using Lemmy more and more. However, one thing that I have noticed is that Lemmy is less active than reddit.
For example, the most comments I have seen a post get is 200, where in reddit I’m confident it would get much more.
It’s like… WAY smaller. This should not be shocking.
Also, I remain unconvinced that a ballooning userbase would be a good thing for lemmy / pubhub, for multiple reasons - not least of which: it would probably push a lot of instance admins/owners out, simply due to having to handle more load and infrastructure and cost and so on. A smaller community is more sustainable, more easily moderated, and tends to be less filled with pervasive cruft and bots and so on.
After spending some more time on Lemmy, I have to say, that’s very true
And way more dull
Almost every obvious stupid joke is taken way too literally, or offensively by someone or other, so I always do a double check, and delete half of my drafted replies. And that’s even after i (try to) block most politics/Dump/Skum channels.
Unless I’m really in the mood for downvote farming by trolling linux nerds (drunk).
You’re drunk, or the linux nerds. Like, I have to know this now. Fucking nerds. You know, Ogre from revenge of the nerds just died, so in his honor, NERDS!!
