There are a few subreddits I check out from time to time because Lemmy doesn’t have the volume of users required to keep those niche conversations active.
Wow, what a pain! There’s so much hostility and byzantine rules. It’s just not worth it.

The problem is that nothing left alive still will ever die now. They have too many visitors, and too much money, and it’s damned near impossible to spin up alternatives without State level funding now. None of the average internet users give a fuck about quality, nor are they willing to visit a site that doesn’t already have a fully established community. Since you can’t establish a community without users, and you can’t get users when you don’t have users, it’s a done deal. The internet is like 5 sites now, and those sites can’t fuck up enough to drive a critical mass of people away. I mean look at what Facebook has become. It’s completely fucking worthless as a social media site now, full of 98% sponsored bullshit, yet they still have 3 billion visitors per day. The good Internet is dead. The corpos stole it & killed it. We will never get it back.
