Technology

It works: You can tell the real humans because they'll be the only ones unwilling to do this invasive bullshit. The bots will just come up with something fake to scan and carry on as they always have.

there's such a painfully obvious agenda over there with the admins. I got a 7 day ban for knocking russians and saying "slava ukraini" then I got a perm ban a week after that for posing the question "how long until an average citizen with an AR decides to deal with ICE themselves?" because apparently both times I was "inciting violence against a minority" because Russians and ICE agents, according to Reddit, are minorities

i have a novelty account i kept around and i just post luigi pictures whenever it gets unbanned. it has probably only been unbanned a week this year

A lot less than 20% when it comes to specific subjects. The great thing about reddit was finding communities around just about every topic or hobby. If 100 people had a passion for something they could meet on Reddit and still have a comfy, somewhat active sub reddit.

On Lemmy you've got generic technology, generic news, generic videogames, generic pics, and almost everything else doesn't get enough traction to keep living. It's a basic population problem, the fraction of people knowing about Lemmy is just not enough to gather around shared stuff. Even those that do use Lemmy are probably not aware of every community attempt that could interest them.

I still see more communities being abandoned than new ones appearing.

I think you dropped this: /s
