One good indicator that Lemmy is becoming popular is how many people are posting their bits on it!

oh my God, how terrible!! Where, so I can avoid it?

Simultanous enshittification. If they see that the competitors are enshittifying, then it’s the perfect opportunity to enshittify themselves without the risk of losing significant market share to the competitors! Every gets worse; no one loses except the users, and who gives a shit about those poors? /s

AHHHH FROSTPUNK 2 I CAN’T WAIT

I love how we’re just sold the opportunity to pay money to play a game, maybe, someday, under certain circumstances, anymore /s

thanks, it’s terrifying

Sure does!! Kbin user here!

It’s just nice to look at big… websites. 🥺

Subscribed users. A large subscribed community (10k+) usually resulted in an active user community (~100 active at any given time)

It’s definitely a higher engagement ratio or whatever the right term is for it! I do love that!

I usually only lurked on the larger subs because of that problem

idk about smallest XD I think there’s a certain size of critical mass to have enough people on enough of the time to make a thriving community or subreddit or magazine. On Reddit I think it was probably around 10,000 nominal subscribers that a subreddit really felt alive for me! In the high-100,000s though it starts to feel impersonal instead of like a community.

I’m not good at patience q.q

“I had to suffer, so now you do too” - the dedovshchina mindset.

I think a big and legitimate concern is that some communities which wish to grow and have room for growth will end up not growing because of unintentional (rather than intentional) splintering. Really wish there was some way around that

As I understand it almost all (or actually all?) local governments had raised the age, but it’s good that it’s addressed on a national level too!

Greed crushes communities :/

What a mess! I can’t tell if it’s backtracking because of backlash or actual clarification.

I’m trying to get Fucking Evil, Fucking Fascists, and Fucking Bullies off the ground on Kbin! I used to mod (and was the founder of) communities of the same name on Reddit.

Fucking Evil is all about being attracted to evil guys and gals, and the evil they do. Fucking Fascists is the same, but for authoritarians. Fucking Bullies is for being attracted to one’s own bully. Obviously all of them are kink and utterly non-serious. I try to make captions that have a very over the top “He called me a cunt and now my poor wittle body makes me obey his every word 🥺” kind of feel to emphasis the absurdity but also the bombastic nature of the kink!

It’s amazing how shitheads tend to clump together!

“We have to reopen because if we don’t the ones in charge will replace us with political extremists or people who ‘don’t care’ about extremism!”

okay but do they realize that just makes leaving even more important?? Reddit’s owners are showing their true face, so maybe pay attention to that??
