I’ve been doing this for some time now. Even if it’s something that I consider important.

I just don’t see the value in participating in a discussion that I have seen countless times already where the same points and arguments happen over and over again. One that I know wilI turn ugly. It’s exhausting and I’ve decided to just opt-out.

    I don’t think it’s the platform so much, I think there’s an inevitability about communication quality dropping as audience size increases

        I think Lemmy has large communities of people who are here because…

        • They’re tech/FLOSS enthusiasts
        • Reddit’s API issues drove them away
        • They got banned from Reddit

        I think that third group is what tends to cause those issues, lol
