How do you see that stat? And what are the numbers specifically?

How do I see this on my side?

I feel like Lemmy/Piefed made a big mistake if you compare it to the early days of Reddit. Peoplee here always try to put everything into neat little categories called communities, but most of them are dead or only have a single person posting stuff with zero comments. In the early days of Reddit there were no subreddits, you can still see how that looks on Hacker News for example. Lemmy should've started like that and introduce communties much later, as a consequence !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world has become the catch all community all this should've started with.

It's becoming the main discussion sub because it has the most eyeballs at any given time. Also, not a lot of repost bots because there's no political rage bait or random articles with zero comments. Just pure shitty memes.

Not another night of the shitternet, please?

Everything went to shit when the media started taking Internet nonsense seriously.

I liked that community a lot, until the admin banned me for being ableist. I legitimately don't know what I did to piss them off, other than the reason the left in the mod log (calling me an ableist shitbag).

I feel like I'm pretty chill, and usually cautious, but I guess they didn't see it that way.

The ultra-political still lurk around there so it works out well. One minute you're sharing your appreciation for a picture of a tin of beans getting rode down a hill of corn or something, and before you know it you're defending totalitarian authoritan views you didnt even know you had and getting lectured about the evils of western pigdog capitalist global expansion and why you personally need to take up arms and attack your local government office right now or youre a traitor to humanity, comrade.

I feel its still serving its purpose.

Or it's genius because anyone who has some shit to post in a real community either decides it's better for here, where it can be enjoyed and it doesn't drown out the real content, or they try it there, the mod stops them, and instead of getting all butthurt about it they can bring it here where it gets seen by more people anyway and still the real community stays pure.

Honestly, 9gag alternative is kind of what I want, and what I used reddit as, too. I left 9gag ages ago, when it turned too sexist-racist-homophobic-transphobic etc., and I left reddit, for the same reason. I hope I do not have to leave here for it too, it seems to spread slowly like some sort of disease in meme communities. Shitposting is great fun, shitposting by hateful bigots, is not fun at all.

You know you can search for text and find out in three seconds? 😳

Of course Palestine is real.
