It’s me. I am calling myself out.
Its not really failing is it 😢
It’s probably very much failing according to the corporate metrics of infinite growth. Good!
Good thing there’s no profit motive to self hosting for Linux users, leftists, and queer people! (I know that’s a ven diagram that’s basically a circle :3)
Nah it’s doing alright.
I mean, I don’t think it’s gaining users, and is losing some. I’d love to see any statistics that prove me wrong
Here are some charts.
Active Users seem to be slightly declining, but overall users and posts are growing (slowly but steady). The big cuts in the-federation.info I suspect to be bot purges.
Seems steady otherwise so yeah not dying. Maybe after the next big stupid reddit decision we gain some more people.
Maybe they were talking about Tumblr, Tumblr is absolutely failing.
not going to lie, if a femcel came over and started doing stuff on my linux box, even more than what i knew, that would be the first time i would get hearts in my eyes.
“so how did you meet your partner?” “oh she made me some very nice dotfiles for my system. i thought id never meet someone with such grace on the keyboard and beauty in the glow of the screen” “what the fuck?”
EDIT: msg me if you want see my dotfiles ;)
my linux box
Ya know, I’d love it if a femcel came over and played with my box as well :3
Nice :3
Hey! We do good work with our popularity <3
Good work?
A ton of similar communities on sites like reddit aren’t so supportive. Like many mentally ill communities, they feed off of their worst instincts instead of their best. That may be rewarding, but it also convinces people that they can continue being horrible to themselves.
I’m really proud of everyone here for not wallowing in our self hatred. I want us to be open about our struggles and insecurities, but I also hope we can offer a helping hand to each other as well. We can’t be perfect, but we can try our best to be good.
I can’t and won’t force people to “get help,” because I know it doesn’t work like that. The only person who can save oneself is oneself. Our life is our responsibility, not just because that’s how it should be, but because that’s how it truly works. We can only get what we give at most, so I want to make sure people get a fair exchange while they’re here.
awesome there’s a supporting community!
I just think
FEMCEL MEMES
Are pretty neat
Yes. Yes you are.
So twitter then? smirks
Me too but we’re getting better together
Genuinely not sure if it means lemmy or tumblr.
HEY! I’m not mentally i’ll. Probably.
well i spent time in the psych ward and first they told me i have bipolar, then borderline personality disorder, and GAD. im he/him but i think it was just the loneliness getting to me. I feel like i can’t share my views or how im very privacy centric with my internet traffic without being told to “take my meds”
Hey this doesn’t apply to me at all.
Beehaw isn’t failing!
Twitter is though…
I’m not on twitter so that doesn’t change my joke :P
Oh, I wasn’t aware it was a joke, heh.
Ah the implication was meant to be that it does in fact apply to me, outside of the “failing social media” part. No worries though!
Thank you for explaining. 🙂
Way to go! 🎉
i don’t want lemmy to blow up and have a bunch of normies and trolls ruin everything, i like it rn
Lol, lemmy is already full of trolls and worse.
don’t call me out like this damn.
This appears to have been posted to Reddit and or Twitter before it was posted to Lemmy. Which is what I want to believe. So I encourage doubt.

I’m trying to assume positive intent but I’m gonna need clarification.
Hopefully they meant that anyone not mentally ill due to the modern world being what it is, is mentally ill be default. Or something similar.
the world is for sure quite fucked by default.
Off topic: I love your username!
thank you! my dad used to own one, and its my favorite car. i hope to own one someday.
sounds like the transphobic rhetoric implying that all trans people are just mentally ill.
