“I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational. Nobody talks like this. They live in a complete alternate universe.”

I would say Reddit became mainstream in 2015 with over approximately 100 million users. That’s when I started noticing the quality of comments start going down. That’s when people stopped having discussions and started bickering more. Before that it was a lot less hostile and the topic of discussions were more fun and informative.

There was also a lot of OC at the time. You just needed to join subs in order to see it. But it was there.

I agree that the standards were lower. That resulted in a lot of fun because things were easier. It would be harder to gain momentum that way now.

The thing about link aggregation is that it can be done on any platform. You can post links to Piefed, Bluesky, Mastodon, Nostr along with all mainstream sites. So why choose Lemmy over them?

The difference will be the OC. If users don’t want to put in the work for it then people who join will get bored and move on.

I’ll read comments on Reddit talking about Lemmy. Users will say they tried Lemmy but there was no interest/posts/discussion in their niche communities so they ended up back on Reddit.

We’ll see what happens I guess.

It didn’t take a decade for OC on smaller communities. I’ve been using Reddit since 2009. There was plenty of OC since ~2012.

Lemmy could use more OC in niche communities.

Most posts are links to other websites.

It might be good to try and post OC from Lemmy or the rest of the Fediverse to mainstream social media sites as a form of exposure.

Maybe we can get this type of idea to become more common here.

Hot, hot hot hot.

Shit.

So the vibrations make the flowers wet?

Literally just rehashing old UI that’s been around for over a decade.

Windows Vista, Rainmeter and custom Windows themes from Deviantart have had these motifs for over a decade.

It is now Trumplandia.

I posit that an uncorruptible person would never allow themselves to become a Dictator.

An uncorruptible individual would possess other traits that would humble them enough to not believe that they are above all others.

A Dictator believes that they themselves have the only right to rule.

How very Dictator of you.
