Edited my comment again.

Is this to be Lemmy’s future? I think that we don’t have to worry much about this.

The fact that lemmy is open source will ensure that sooner or later someone will develop a solution to the problem if it gets too bad.

The motivation of the lemmy developers is actually to develop a good platform. Unlike reddit where the only and sole motivation is money, that makes a huge difference.

Now is absolutely not the time to give up on democracy.

No one wants to give up democracy, we just recognize that liberal bourgeois democracy only serves to create an illusion of democratic voice. The only interests taken into account in the so-called modern “democracies” are those of capital, and that is no democracy at all.> Now is absolutely not the time to give up on democracy.

Unfortunately, rejecting WhatsApp is probably one of the most socially isolating decisions I’ve ever made.

Matrix is bloatware.

The resource consumption for chat rooms is absolutely ridiculous compared to XMPP and IRC. It’s so bad that I now believe the protocol is inherently flawed or absolutely unsuitable for realtime messaging.

• XMPP: Good mature protocol but poor client ecosystem.
• Matrix: Unsuitable protocol for realtime messaging with relatively good client ecosystem.

a little to the right

Not just a little.

That does not make it better in any way.

Without context this is really not a good idea, I first thought lemmygrad.ml was hacked and I think I’m not the only one who misinterpreted it.

These maps and statistics are always such absurdly obvious propaganda. It’s really impressive that most people see this and just believe it. Confirmation bias is really scary isn’t it? People want it to be true so they believe it.
