A couple of months ago there where 30+ likes on meme posts etc. Nowadays it seems like posts on beehaw.org are upvoted more than lemmy.ml.

Did this change come with the latest lemmy update that gave everyone those language errors?

    I don’t really think Lemmy.ml will have very good retention of new users. Because:

    1. New users will mostly come from reddit or mastodon.
    2. Most users of reddit and mastodon willing to leave are anti corporate, anti authoritarian, anti-war, pro human rights.
    3. A lot of posts that you see on Lemmy (either from Lemmy.ml or lemmygrad) are pro-russia, pro china or anti-western to the point of being really annoying. Its not fun to talk to people without a hint of nuance.

    So it is not surprising that new users will get turned off by this and leave (or move to beehaw).

      I confess to trying and then leaving lemmy.ml in a huff because I allowed myself to get dragged into an argument with some asshole. I came back (to Beehaw) when I heard about a potential reddit exodus, and thought I’d give it another chance.

          You don’t like reading 6 paragraphs of mental backflips explaining how it’s actually the US who needs to stop the aggression so we can have peace in Ukraine??
