I hand out up votes like candy because engagement is how we're going to get new users and kill the other site. I'd rather people karma farm here than by putting money in the pockets of the ultra-rich tbh

Here have a downvote. Enough of those and you get censored so lemmy can become an echo chamber by censoring anything unpopular, eg someone liking a bad movie.

Trust, lemmys already kind of an echo chamber, but it's our echo chamber so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Linux Propaganda Machine

(I mean its true, y'all know it)

You're right, the Linux propaganda is true

[-] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 week ago

Oh it absolutely is but you don't need to make it worse.

I downvote everything to counter act you, I don't want more redditors on Lemmy, they will turn this shit into reddit

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 week ago

At 48k monthly active users, there's still quite a margin to become Reddit. 100k would already allow for more niche communities while being manageable.

Depending on their client this will just radicalize them into expressing their beliefs further.

downvoted because I still want to believe in your mission of no redditors.

So become the other site to kill it because it’s such a shitty place?

[-] Hazmatastic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

It's not just a shitty place, as a corporation it actively fuels shitty practices that are felt across all social media and the internet in general. I'd rather take their users and build something better with them.

It doesn't feel great when you want to make the switch just to find the analogous lemmy communities have 100-5000 members with the last post being 3 weeks ago as opposed to 100k+ with 10 posts in the last hour. The only way to fix that is with new users. Whether from the old site or not, new users is how these communities will grow and flourish. If you want to gatekeep, go ahead but I think you'll only be slowing the adoption of the fediverse and letting the problems that incentivized its creation fester.
