"I had to suffer, so now you do too" - the dedovshchina mindset.

thanks, it's terrifying

I think a big and legitimate concern is that some communities which wish to grow and have room for growth will end up not growing because of unintentional (rather than intentional) splintering. Really wish there was some way around that

"How dare the proles stop making me money! What am I (not) paying them for??"

Greed crushes communities :/

It's amazing how shitheads tend to clump together!

As I understand it almost all (or actually all?) local governments had raised the age, but it's good that it's addressed on a national level too!

One good indicator that Lemmy is becoming popular is how many people are posting their bits on it!

oh my God, how terrible!! Where, so I can avoid it?

What a mess! I can't tell if it's backtracking because of backlash or actual clarification.

I usually only lurked on the larger subs because of that problem

It's definitely a higher engagement ratio or whatever the right term is for it! I do love that!

Are they not marked as NSFW? I noticed NSFW is unmarked by default even if you're posting to a NSFW magazine, maybe some people aren't aware of that yet

Sure does!! Kbin user here!

"We have to reopen because if we don't the ones in charge will replace us with political extremists or people who 'don't care' about extremism!"

okay but do they realize that just makes leaving even more important?? Reddit's owners are showing their true face, so maybe pay attention to that??

idk about smallest XD I think there's a certain size of critical mass to have enough people on enough of the time to make a thriving community or subreddit or magazine. On Reddit I think it was probably around 10,000 nominal subscribers that a subreddit really felt alive for me! In the high-100,000s though it starts to feel impersonal instead of like a community.

Morality aside, it really does look better uncarved :/

well I don't want shorter games but otherwise yes worse graphics by people who work less and are paid more pls

Horsey now is too OP, pls nerf

AHHHH FROSTPUNK 2 I CAN'T WAIT

I'm not good at patience q.q

Simultanous enshittification. If they see that the competitors are enshittifying, then it's the perfect opportunity to enshittify themselves without the risk of losing significant market share to the competitors! Every gets worse; no one loses except the users, and who gives a shit about those poors? /s

Subscribed users. A large subscribed community (10k+) usually resulted in an active user community (~100 active at any given time)

It's just nice to look at big... websites. 🥺
