I wish we could tell whether it was the admins or subreddit moderators using these silencing tactics.
I suppose Discord, GitHub, Steam Forums and YouTube would be better places to bring up the topic.
Lemmy has 462k users and 45k MAU, we could use a bit more content and support for our developers and instance maintainers.
Surely it’s better that Lemmy is mostly found by those curious enough to go searching? The lower the effort required to get onboard, the lower the effort of posts that follow. Currently Lemmy has a bit of a Reddit-2006 vibe and that’s far better. Quiet, true, but volume doesn’t equal quality and sufficient volume certainly brings the attention of bots and shills.
Lemmy is no more elite or exclusive than Reddit.
I’m finding it’s much smaller volume but the conversations are more genuine with less low effort filler and puns in between. But YMMV…
True but more artists would be involved. I really miss BrookValley and wish she was here posting 🥺
Maybe contact her? Ask if we can mirror her stuff here with her credentials and so on. Win win?
I could ask her to join Blahaj.zone!
