Editing to delete all of this. I am getting real threats again, and I am not willing to have a complete mental collapse over fucking Lemmy for a 2nd time. Fuck this place. And especially fuck all of the transpose assholes bent on making my life hell. I am deleting my accounts permanently, but will leave the content up. Don't worry, you won't need to kill or doxx me, I intend to take care of the former myself.
Not inherently. Activity is certainly important, and some people might just leave if a place seems too slow compared to what they're used to. But the quality of activity is also important. (If it didn't, we'd be firing up repost bots and AI tools to generate junk.) In fact, one think many people have said they like about Lemmy instances is that it seems like replies actually mean something here and don't just get lost in the mix. There's more of a community.
