Welcome to 2025 where the platform that promotes nazi rhetoric are the victims.

That's what did it for me. The admins are the trolls and protect their troll buddies.

I saw bluesky take off and get millions of users right away. Appearently they have 38 million users now.
I guess advertising works...
Bluesky isn't open tech. The masses will flock to low barrier to entry walled gardens. They can have them.

Lemmy doesnt have any proper discussions though. Its just memes. Personally i have to check reddit to actually get proper content to learn something from.
But still, Lemmy is at least not big tech!
Honestly I like the conversations here, it reminds me a lot of the old internet.

It is the barrier to entry - most people probably stopped on "choose a server".
The concept of Lemmy being servers was easy for me to understand (thanks MMOs, I guess?), but having to jump through hoops to actually sign up with many of them was the primary difficulty. Nobody wants to have to write an essay on why they should be accepted to a server.

It's sobering to consider how tiny Lemmy is. Both the Linus Tech Tips forum and the Crackberry forum are bigger and more active than all of Lemmy together.
Back in the day, even something niche as the Blitzbasic forum was bigger than Lemmy is now.
It's probably a good thing too, since both performance and in the way moderation needs to be done on Lemmy is so inefficient that it's right now already at the point where instances are getting closed down because they can't handle the workload and cost.
Lemmy being small works for me. Reddit is horrendously toxic now, so I'll occasionally lurk, but refuse to interact with it. I don't want Lemmy to become Reddit.

There's no arguments about that, other than the murder

Yes but "the fashion"

I don't agree. Do you mean that you require us to do it or are you just not engaged in it?
-
Okay then, you put 'atheists' alongside racists and child pornography which is what would get people's backs up.
No, I can put atheist alongside racist and cp because the front page was full of atheist posts > Racist posts > CP. No this doesn't mean all atheists.

He's referencing /r/jailbait which was super popular on Reddit till they banned it.
I found the existence of the sub fuckjng appalling but it was also arguably a big part of the enshittifstion of Reddit. Like. I hate that it existed but it wasn't illegal.
It wasnt illegal if people only posted girls over 18 but thats not the case. There were a ton of under 18s being posted. When it was banned the sub pivoted to some like "fashion" sub and continued posting under 18s and 18s for plausible deniability.

I meant "alongside" in terms of "as bad".

I stand corrected then.
I thought its whole loophole thing was that it was legal which is why something that disgusting wasn't removed.
I don't know how they didn't remove something that was actually illegal from the site earlier. Double gross. Evil. Ew.
I doubly don't understand why something that was illegal wasn't removed WAY earlier.

Not true! you can get into arguments with random people about Marxism AND Linux!
that's what .ml stands for, right?

The issue is when the entire sub is filled with people who look young enough to be under 18 its very hard for admins to tell when they're actually under 18. After the ban the fashion sub posted people clearly under 18 and used the excuse that its fine because they're clothed and they're just reviewing the fashion.

There's no lack of people willing to have discourse. No one is asking the questions.
People go to Reddit with hard questions (an other things) they want to crowdsource
People don't come to Lemmy with it, but other than not knowing which tech forum to ask it in, there's no reason they can't.
