In recent weeks, I have posted an absolutely staggering amount of content on Lemmy.

My goal is simply to support the platform. I hate huge corporations.

Now I'm taking a break. I won't post anything or I'll post very little (I still feel a little guilty!! Who will post new content ๐Ÿ˜ข?)

But I need to focus on improving my own life and relax.

However... I'm just curious.

Is the number of Lemmy users actually increasing, decreasing, or staying the same? Is that data even available?

Edit: I will still post stuff. I'll just post a lot less!

    honest question because personally I'm not seeing it or maybe I'm just blinded to it but how is it worse? From what I've seen the moderation hasn't been anywhere near as heavy handed as on Reddit with the exception of nuking bots. Maybe because I'm just blocking certain instances that I'm not seeing it.

    I think they give away their real complaint when they mentioned "anything to the right of far left" as if reddit only allows far left views.

    far left echo chamber

    Here we go again with people who call themselves right-wingers making themselves the victims.

    You want to explain how /r/Conservative bans anyone who has a different opinion? Or why /r/worldnews is controlled by AIPAC interests that support the genocide in Palestine through the terrorist IDF army. Or why /r/protectandserve is a heavily moderated far right-wing subreddit that supports police brutality?

    It's almost like people with fucked up views don't like to get told they're fucked up. Wow, what a revelation.

    Yeah, you did a bit more than that, going by your mod history.

    Anyway, it's true that mods tend to like power tripping, because it's about the only way to get something positive out of the boring and unpleasant work of an unpaid internet moderator.

    Not the moderation but the general sentiment.
    You always see users going on and on about Linux for every slight mention of Microsoft or Windows.
    Same for other stuff like news. Everything is about the US and rarely anything else.

    Everything feels politicized. And if not it's an OS war.
    And if not that it's "Why are you not using this piece of software" solely because it's (F)OSS.
    But if you for example question why they are using Plex (which isnt foss) they deflect by saying Jellyfin is not secure enough.

    As if they are targetted by state actors trying every zero day to gain acccess to their infrastructure.
