  Delusional. There’s like 100 users on Lemmy. Reddit has grown its userbase this year.

    I think it’s a joke about dead internet theory, rather than userbase size

    en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_theory

    The joke comes from an increase in bot use on Reddit, and the subsequent false positive / false negatives in trying to figure out which ones are bots

    Lemmy has that problem too, but it’s much smaller in scope. Mostly because there’s less a reason to try and control the narrative on this smaller platform, and also because the goals are different. Lemmy instances get no benefit from a bunch of fake engagement, and public upvotes makes it easier to catch manipulation

    Most users on Lemmy are Delusional. especially here in /c/Technology – turns out, this community isn’t for technology at all, but rather for bitching about silicon valley companies.

      Technobitching in the valley. You just prefer boring conference-tier activities with slideshows, mumbling and occasional pafos hand clapping.
