    I’d like to know how many fewer people are using Twitter and Reddit nowadays. Cause it still seems like a lot of people are on these terrible platforms…

      Does it really matter if they are?

      Honestly, aside from damage to society, terrible twitter and reddit platforms can hopefully remain the focus of bots, and a platform for users who prefer to engage in that type of content.

      Lemmy has it’s own thing going on, and it’s the content/interaction that gets absolutely buried on other platforms.

      I’m happy seeing a shitpost, some news, loads of memes and some boobs every now and then. Even if it’s not “good” the genuine comments that aren’t bad faith arguments/agenda pushing, or pure forum sliding irrelevant content are so much better than reddit in my opinion.

      I’m sure strong opinions will come up eventually, but I’m hoping to find more content like poop knife, or trying random food with rice, or shittymorph, or beans from the other day. Actual AMA’s would be nice too.

      Watching the internet go crazy over beans was more entertaining than everything I’ve seen on Reddit since like 2015.
