MODERATORS
 

In recent weeks, I have posted an absolutely staggering amount of content on Lemmy.

My goal is simply to support the platform. I hate huge corporations.

Now I'm taking a break. I won't post anything or I'll post very little (I still feel a little guilty!! Who will post new content 😒?)

But I need to focus on improving my own life and relax.

However... I'm just curious.

Is the number of Lemmy users actually increasing, decreasing, or staying the same? Is that data even available?

Edit: I will still post stuff. I'll just post a lot less!

I think they give away their real complaint when they mentioned "anything to the right of far left" as if reddit only allows far left views.

Have you not been on reddit in the last 5 years? It’s a highly censored, tightly controlled, far left echo chamber.

far left echo chamber

Here we go again with people who call themselves right-wingers making themselves the victims.

You want to explain how /r/Conservative bans anyone who has a different opinion? Or why /r/worldnews is controlled by AIPAC interests that support the genocide in Palestine through the terrorist IDF army. Or why /r/protectandserve is a heavily moderated far right-wing subreddit that supports police brutality?

It's almost like people with fucked up views don't like to get told they're fucked up. Wow, what a revelation.

Thank you for taking the time to call out these specific examples of ops claim being a ridiculous farce

Reddit is anything but far left. Only a conservative would think that

[–] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au -2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What's with all the "progressives" trying to convince everyone that reddit isn't a far left echo chamber these days? Is it to try and change the well-deserved reputation of being a highly censored leftist shithole so people will take it seriously?

You're a conservative.
