I came here around the time the rif app shut down, and the general vibe I get from this place is much more negative than when I joined. Is Lemmy growing more toxic or is it just my imagination?

    As the space becomes more popular, the level of social cohesion goes down.

    Also, every space on the internet where users talk is now infested with shit chatbots trying to keep poor people angry with each other to prevent us from flaying rich people alive

      Does it actually get more popular? I see Lemmy, Piefed and Mbin together at around 40k monthly active users. It hasn’t really gained a lot of new active users, the peak was 50k monthly active users a while ago, so it seems to get less popular.

      Woah woah woah. None of us said flaying ALIVE! It’ll ruin the flavor of the meat!
