The participation seems way down recently. What did I miss?

    Yep it’s down a lot. I think it’s because it’s just memes and also quite hard moderation and downvotes. It feels like a reddit clone that has the exact same mindset as reddit. I get annoyed when I see people being moderated for having an opinion that is not popular.

    I saw a post being locked yesterday for asking about moderation. Doesn’t anyone else see the problem with that? Your channels rules are not more important than making people feel they can talk and express what’s on their mind.

    I hate that so much. Stop treating people like they are just resources to moderate.

    I don’t see much discussions. But I’m sure there is a few here and there.

        Yeah because first of all, content had to be spread out across 562826 different communities for no reason other than that reddit had lots of communities, after growing for many many years. It started with just a few.

        Then 99% of those were created on Lemmy.world, and every new user was directed to sign up at Lemmy.world.

        I guess a lot of people here are younger than me and didn’t experience forums, but we had like 30 forum channels. That was enough to talk about anything at all. And I believe it’s the same here, it would have been enough. And then all channels would have easy to find content.
