      There is a price for going mainstream, and I agree that I don’t think I want to pay it. R*ddit was also once niche…

        Yep, that’s right. That’s what I mean.

        We’re doing nothing with this framework. It’s going nowhere. We’re not dethroning or replacing or reshaping shit.
        Lemmy will be done and dead before Trump’s term is, even if he follows the term limit and hands it off in 4 years.

          I don’t believe that. Lemmy continues to slowly grow. It’s not dieing at all.

            We’ll just have to wait and see. But clearly people here don’t want to get even close to the numbers of the big sites.

              I mean, why would we? Clearly that brings more bad than good things?

                What the fuck are you even getting out of this? 3 new funny pictures a day? Couple pieces of advice last month?

                  I’m not chronically online. Therea more than enough content every day. Maybe find a hobby?

                    I thought the purpose of the fediverse was to create a framework for strong independent communities that cannot be subverted by corporate (reddit) interests.

                    But without numbers there is no strength, no purpose for organization. Then what are we doing here? Mild entertainment?
