It seems the fediverse is continuing and growing again. Line go up is probably good!

Total users are huge now.

There are many websites out there that pull data from the fediverse. So take that with a grain of salt. But anecdotally I am seeing a small rise in people using the various platforms as each get more mature and servers somewhat stabilize.

Nope. It seems it is a sicker Reddit. No matter the congenitalilty, the engagement is just frankly gross.

Maybe I need to move from lemmy.zip, but the vetting is a pain in the ass.

People are just difficult to even talk to these days.

I am actually a really sweet but sardonic guy. No freedom of speech and no humor. Just an exasperation of the things that killed reddit.

No actual discussion. Fuck this.

    If you're not a socialist then you may often find yourself lost and unwelcome here, and I'm absolutely not talking about the ml grounds because they lowkey welcome fascists

    I am a socialist. What?

    I advocate for free school lunches, free healthcare, free basic housing, free education, and free basic internet access.

    You are simply demonstrating my point.

    Is that why I feel so at home here? Am I a socialist!? Did Lemmy make me a socialist! Oh no, what am I going to tell my mother when sh3 finds out.

    But in all seriousness... Tho the text above was not made in jest, Would you consider yourself to be described in that way? A socialist? If not a socialist, how do you find the wherewithal to stick around?

    Did you just wake up?

    Being well adjusted to a sick society is no measure of good health.

    Whoosh. I think the point is being missed. I am not focusing on the one.

    I am a rather happy guy who has a heart that bleeds for others.

    you should not be on the internet then.

    I like to envision the internet like it was New York City between 1975-1985. trash piled high in front of every building with an oppressive smog swirling down every thoroughfare. A dead hooker in every pile of trash, like some kind of hidden kinder surprise. how she got there, nobody cares, but I can guarantee that it involved enough coke to kill a horse.

    piss on the seats, piss in the streets, and Wallstreet standing like some kind of middle finger while the city churns on, grinding babies into paste for the best pizza money can buy.
