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.
Comment on Reddit could soon punish users for upvoting violent content.

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

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
