  • Just a heads up, this is how early reddit was. People will argue that the larger the platform the more likely the community will deteriorate. I will argue that is partly true and does contribute to enshittification of social media, but I think the main factor is the corporate greedos trying to continuously increase profit. Reddit kept making new rules and policies that kept degrading the platform. They made a toxic environment where flaming and antagonistic content would be shown on people's feed.

    Am I saying Lemmy isn't awesome? Not really. You guys can make that conclusion. But I have seen similar posts like this in the early days of reddit. Make do of this as you want. Ponder and ask what made reddit bad and if this is the path of lemmy or it is "naturally" immune to it.

  • Lemmy has a significant amount of tankies which is why you come across that term and politics associated with them. It is the same way you come across conservatives on Facebook or reddit, and Nazis on Twitter. If you use any platform you will come across political groups in some shape and form.

  • I don't want us to get exactly popular, but I'd like to be big enough where the nice communities can be big and active enough. I still have to go to reddit for those and it is annoying.

  • Immigrants do pay taxes. Even the undocumented ones. They don't get the same benefit as the rest of us though. So most of the time we are taking advantage of them.

    If you don't like that source there are plenty of others you can Google too.
