Normies eventually ruin everything.
Not wrong, but did we seriously travel back to late 2000's 4chan? There's far more apt ways to communicate the concept that communities tend to degenerate to fit the lowest common denominator of their users, and that will only shift lower as the userbase grows. Any community will be better quality when the majority of its userbase consists of people deeply invested in the topic.
I've found that talking like a reasonable adult rather than relying on NEET/internet denizen slang as shorthand tends to help "hot takes" like this be taken more seriously. It also gives more for others to respond to, in regards to adding anything useful to a conversation/comment chain.
All the normies downvoted you
I'm enough of an oldf*g that I'm beyond dank, I'm positively crepuscular. Absolutely NORMIES GET OUT REEEEEEE
That said his take really adds nothing to the conversation, especially compared to other commenters expressing the same thing more eloquently desu
Number of users and popularity. Plus not being able to seriously discuss it on reddit due to them potentially banning the sub.
I'm excited for Lemmy and other federated communities, because it allows places to stay smaller while still sharing posts and comments. That should help stop the effect of a single community getting super high traffic. Plus there is no karma/score so there's less incentive to spam low effort posts.
Reddit’s algorithm has slowly deprioritized text-based content over time. I moderate a large discussion sub and our view counts have slowly declined over the past ten years, with the biggest drop happening when the redesign released. Discussion did happen on /r/piracy, but you had to go to the subreddit and sort by new.
This community also needs to ban random memes.
We should just make a PiracyMemes community.
