  When you’re the biggest shop in your town it’s because you do good work.

  When you’re the biggest shop in the world it’s because you’re scamming your clients.

  Reddit is going to have to make the argument that it just boosts “what people like” and it just so happens people like negative engagement.

  And I mean it’s been known for decades that people like bad news more than good news when it comes to attention and engagement.

  What are you some kind of education historian?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On the future of Lemmy vs reddit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah the issue is that with large online communities, your largest user group is always going to be that of least engagement.

  So users who just read stuff is your biggest group. Then comes users who made an account. Then comes users who up and downvote. And last comes users who post.

  It makes it very hard to grow a new social media platform.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On the future of Lemmy vs reddit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah the very top post on hot right now has 9 comments lmao.

  There is no one here. I mean I love the platform and the apps. I don’t go to Reddit anymore on my phone. But there’s no one here.

  If I don’t go to Reddit at least once per day I’m going to miss news and events that are important to me.

  Yeah I built a few react apps that made it to production about 7 years ago.

  Now the react syntax I used back then is basically a dead language.

  Wouldn’t it be sick if once your company got up to a net worth of ONE TRILLION DOLLARS you’d just stop trying to shoehorn in new ways to make profit?
