Is there a place to watch lemmy user numbers in real time? interested to see if there’s a spike as users try out something else with their new free time.
Why are so many people openly hostile towards redditors? Are you trying to get us to leave?
What you’re failing to realize is that Lemmy needs new users in order to grow. You may not like the bitching, but it keeps conversations going which drives more engagement to the site.
Stop trying to push people away from the platform. People need an alternative to reddit. They’ve been a monopoly since 2010; it’s time for that to change. Won’t happen if redditors don’t want to come here because they feel unwanted.
So please, try to chill the fuck out. And leave us be.
Uhm, dude has his account for two months, so I think it’s save to assume he also is a Reddit refuge. Oh, you know what, it actually says so in his profile.
Am a reddit refuge. Not trying to push anyone out, but we have the chance to change the old ways before they take hold here.
Also, as I stated in my post, I think that something of great value was lost. reddit was valuable. I still get reddit links in most of the things i search for (actually, it feels like even more now) for basically any specific computer or technology questions I’m looking into. Half the time it’s deleted, half the time I can’t see the thread without logging in and I’d really rather stand my ground.
So yeah, for better or for worse, the internet just experienced some big-ass brain drain. I’d say that was something of value.
Fuck /u/spez though
