    Can we please stop censoring words? It’s just amazing how much damage has been done by platforms to people in this respect.

      It’s why my iPhone sucks, censoring the most basic swears and auto correcting my cursing. What’s worse is you can even use words like “die “ anymore.

      Not unless we stop reposting content from other social media which would make Lemmy even more dead than it already is.

        lemmy is quite alive. Source: this post has 22 comments by the time of me writing this already.

            I am fairly confident, that there is more content on lemmy right now, than a person can sift through.

            If there is more than about a dozen comments under a post, i rarely read all of them.

              yeah i think it’s more about the quality than the quantity

              like, there can be a thousand comments but all of them pointless, which is what happens when your social media platform only tries to grow in user numbers. we should strive for quality over quantity, i think.

                  …I do. But the majority of the communities I subscribe to (and I have found multiple iterations across different instances) are not very active. Their reddit counterparts are.

                  You can stop trying to reject my experiences with your nonsense to make yourself look right. You’re not.

        Make sure to switch up how you look at posts and you’ll see that it is more alive than you think. Active seems the most dead which is default, but I still check it. I go by hot, active, 6 hours and scaled, in that order.

      I’ve started taking censored posts like this and emphatically uncensoring them so the naughty words are even more prominent.

      I posted it in another comment.
