Comment on Feedback about our name: someone's concerns on sharing
Comment105@lemm.ee 2 weeks agoAnd that’s why most of us know to expect this to stay another largely pointless, niche project with little broad impact.
We’re not hitting 100k MAU, we’re not improving the internet, we’re not dethroning reddit. We’re just existing alongside them, in their shadow, with a slow front page of largely mid nonsense that sticks around for a couple days, with several communities’ comments mostly coming from 1-5 “power”-users.
And people want it to stay that way.

What does getting bigger actually accomplish? I’ve been through enough Eternal Summers to know it sucks to lose a place you like to the swarm of terminally online bootlickers who infest every place that actually has people they can rule over. I’m good

There are a lot of interests I have which do not have enough users in communities here to make sharing things worthwhile, personally. Why waste time sharing art or music or other original content in places where it gets little engagement?
There’s a reason the front page is primarily covered in memes, news, technology news, and politics, and that’s because those require little barrier of entry to participate in for those tech savvy enough to already be here.

I wouldn’t mind 100k monthly active users. Millions probably not, but a bit more activity would be nice to cover a few more niche topics
