A few weeks/months ago when I was active here, I remember there were more daily posts and each daily post got more comments.

I more or less stopped posting out of protest for lemmy.ca policies regarding defederation for political reasons (as if complaining about landlords isn't half the reason this community exists) and I come back to see that things are much slower here.

What happened?

Edit: I'll be revving up my posts again, because I really do want to see this community thrive even if I don't like what the lemmy.ca admins are doing.

I suspect that some found alternative platforms, some broke their doomscroll habits and are doing other things now, and the vast majority just slinked back to reddit because adhering to principles is hard for most people.

Reddit is honestly such a toxic cesspool of Western media perspectives. I'm not sure how I ever dealt with it.
