I see you out there. Posting. You should post here too. Why aren't you? Genuinely curious actually.

I will add that this experience of having people accuse you of being reactionary for no reason and then getting no response is probably a big driver for "power posters" not wanting to come here but I'd like to add belatedly that it's simply how few posts you actually see on here. It's just like, infosec, lemmygrad which is the same, lemmy, not rly much to see

And then you run the risk of people getting extremely confrontational out of nowhere and deciding you're a fascist because they only see Lemmy posts and their context has become reddit... idk what is an appeal of posting here?

can you name any reason why power posters SHOULD eschew the benefits of better software and wider community?
