Some girls aren't in it for the money or fame, they just like posting nudes

    Right, but aren't those girls in it for the attention? The thrill? Sounds like she's not getting any attention, either.

    There's a difference between none and some.

    She gets some attention, not much, but some.

    We call it nothing at all, even if it's not nothing. It's obvious why we do it, it's the absence of respect. But we are technically wrong.

    People's views are so skewed by social media numbers. If 10 people came up to you in one day and complemented you, it would probably be the best day of your life...

    It's like people complaining that Lemmy groups only have, using this group as an example, 3.1k users/day and are therefore not worth participating in (these are Reddit arguments, but still).

    Somehow people have developed this intuition that unless you have literally millions of interactions then you're practically invisible. If you were hanging out at a park with 3,100 people you wouldn't say that it was a small group, but on the Internet this is seen as a tiny number of people, hardly worth mentioning.

    While we agree, I want to clarify this:

    Lemmy groups only have, using this group as an example, 3.1k users/day

    That still means this platform is clearly not anywhere near challenging the big ones, and therefore not really having a big impact on improving the internet the way I want it to. I am especially annoyed by the idiots who want to keep Lemmy small.

    On a personal level, 10 is a small crowd and three thousand is a lot of people. But when talking about platforms and impact, it's not much at all.
