    Yeah, lemmy is well and truly dead. you need diversity for a platform to grow and Lemmy doesn’t have that since all the “bad diversity” has been removed.

      I mean it seems pretty alive to me on a community level, it’s just that the devs make it’s failure inevitable, which is why I jumped ship over here to PieFed within two months.

      I don’t see it that way, but I do see users coming into it and having to face lower quality arguments without nuance along with trolling or having to face low interaction rates, or ridiculous beehive charades of argument chains too surreal to seem real, and just choosing to go back to the mainstream platforms instead.

        Yep. And at times, that and worse from mods.

        As per the

        all the “bad diversity” has been removed

        effect.

        Gate-keeping. Groupthink of the mods.

        Though, lets remember, this is still the fediverse. It’s not a monolith where the mods are the mods. Mods some communities are worse, some are better, and we can always start our own communities and host our own instances.

        Robust enough against lemmy being “dead”, like @goat@sh.itjust.works said.

          Can you find me one conservative community on lemmy?

          I’m of the belief that if you want to grow a forum, you need to cater most groups. Otherwise you’ll stagnate and die.

          You have (some of) the functionality, but the defaults suck and the way to fix it might mean a lot less people and expertise involved in the discourse
