Comment on is there is any Lemmy server that care about privacy(does not require email), Does not impose limits on community posts like my current instance and does not have high amount of restrictions?

  I reply when I see absolutes such as “all communities on Lemmy are dead”, "all mods are bad ", “all communities are about politics”

  It paints the platform in a bad light and it’s not accurate.

  Don’t you think that is a little bit sad that all you can do is this mindless pontification?

  Another example of absolute.

  I help this platform grow by regularly posting and engaging with regular users.

  Stop using absolute statements and I’ll stop replying.

    1. I didn’t make any of these statements
    2. There is a big difference between “sweeping generalizations” and “categorically correct statements”. The former are the statements you give as examples, but the latter can apply to the absolute majority of cases, even if someone has a data point (“the exception that proves the rule”) in the contrary.

    Why would you think that?

    The original argument was “Communities don’t need a lot of posting to survive here”, and my response is basically saying “we should strive for more than surviving”.

    It seems like that instead of focusing on the part where I am calling for more action, you decided to focus on what you perceive as criticism and you try to attack that as soon as possible.

    It feels like your problem is not with the “absolute statements”, but that you are doing your best to reject reality.

    It doesn’t matter if the number is 100% or 99% or 92.376%, what matters is that it has been two years since the Reddit boycott and we still do not have a good example of a thriving community here. We had many attempts (the /r/selfhosted people, the /r/blind), but they are by and large still on Reddit.

      There is no particular community which is thriving.

      lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active_month

      47 communities with more than 5k monthly active users.

      It seems like that instead of focusing on the part where I am calling for more action, you decided to focus on what you perceive as criticism and you try to attack that as soon as possible.

      I didn’t see a “call for more action” in that comment.

      !fedigrow@lemmy.zip and !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com are communities about acting to make the platform grow.

      they are by and large still on Reddit. Can you at least agree to that?

      Of course they are, the same way the vast majority of microblog users are still on Twitter compared to Mastodon. That doesn’t prevent communities to thrive, as stated above.

        I gave a very specific example to illustrate where Mastodon had become more relevant than Twitter. Again: it’s not about absolute numbers.
