I was still lurking there but not so long ago it just died. The subs I was looking at stopped updating. There was no point going back.
cant be all those ban waves can it? feb 12-13th was the start of a massive account purging from the site,a nd you wonder why the engagment fell, leaving russian troll farms mostly intact, plus MUSK constant brigading on the site. remember MUSK is chronically ONLINE because hes on cocaine and ketamine.
by NOV-FEB there were already 3 ban waves, and the luigi+upvote bans was the 5th.

I left when I couldn't use the word "idiot" because it was a trigger word.
Sure Jan.

Community oriented websites have no growth potential once you've mined the community.
Of course Reddit is just doing a lot of things to sink community engagement so this is just par the course.
Forget about growth. Forget investors. Forget about all those capitalist nonsense. What good are profits if everything goes to shit? The best thing about Lemmy is that it doesn't give a shit about that. It's decentralized and community driven. Capitalism prioritizes money not people.

Huh, maybe if reddit wasn't overly restrictive to free speech they'd get more actively engaged users. Oh well, I guess they'll have to suffer the consequences of their actions. I know this article blames reliance on google and stagnant ads for this, but I can't help but think restricting speech and shutting down discussions also plays a role. Front page of the internet my ass.

How absolutely and entirely unexpected.
Got banned over there a month ago, came here hoping to find something of a Sonic community in the same vein as the one over there (very involved in that fanbase, did a lot of my discussion on reddit), has not materialized yet, not enough fans over here, hopefully that changes at some point. I thought at first that it was the open support of Luigi's alleged actions that got me banned, I could be ok with that, I get it, supporting violence and whatnot, I broke the rules, and they were sensible rules more or less, but the longer I look at the current happenings over there, the more suspicious I am that it was because his name came up at ALL, multiple times. That's annoying. That feels less justified.
Also becoming more and more glad it happened when it did. Lot of overt, fascist appeasing censorship going on over there. Like it's not even subtle. There's no ambiguity in it, it's just "this post criticized or disparaged Musk or Trump in some way. (Removed from Reddit)."
