  • It would be a spam bot, so yes. What does a spambot have to do with this at all? Also these are opinions, you ask me for hard numbers when you yourself are stating your opinions as fact. We had multiple reports of harassment and brigading downvotes. We’ll revisit the issue when lemmy updates and/or we can potentially have more moderation tools. I’d love to submit a PR and have fuzzy downvotes and hiding negative comments based on downvotes but, currently I don’t know rust and even if I did this instance is pretty much run by 2 volunteers and we both have day jobs, so to reiterate, it will be back when it can be.






  • there were a ton of people here a yearish ago thanks to the reddit api bs, that was the initial wave, then people dropped off and went back to reddit because this platform isn’t as mature or feature rich. Now, there are more apps and moderation tools, stability etc. and the platform is growing much more slowly and organically. We’re a small, slowly growing community. It’s nowhere near as big as reddit, but it’s growing every day, and I hope that it’s here long after reddit is a complete corporate shithole. But that also means it’s not going to be as active yet.

    If there are a lot of missing images, that’s because lemmy’s federation used to work a little bit differently and there were trolls posting CP on a major instance so the admins of the sites that were federated with that site basically had to wipe the image database before a certain date, but that was awhile back.
