And people will still insist on remaining there. I’m convinced Musk could shut down the site tomorrow, and people would continuously refresh until it somehow reappears.

Lemmy has an extremism problem. Partly because of the lack of moderation tools (which is why a lot of mods supposedly left reddit in the first place) and partly because of the lack of moderation, or straight up complacency of some mods.
Why does every fad tech come with a huge environmental cost?
Why does this seem to only be about Instagram?
Like Winnie the Pooh! With my bare hands slathered in honey!
Didn’t read, sorry. Reddit brain made my brain work not so good.
Honestly, I would rather Lemmy attract its own community naturally rather than it be the place all redditors pipe into. I think most people who have already come from there can agree the culture is not really conductive to quality discussion, and we’ve started to see some of that leak into Lemmy as well.
Rather than just copy/paste reddit’s users and culture, we should try to develop both on their own. Create an environment that users want to spend their time on. Then through word of mouth on other platforms they entice people here. I don’t think just being the place redditors flood after every fuckup is healthy for the growth of the platform. As a Mastodon user, I’m kinda glad it isn’t the primary platform Twitter refugees are flocking to.
Basically it moves content up. Having a few boosts has the same power as a ton of upvotes. Works in comments too.
It’s used as a way to move quality content and posts into people’s views. I don’t know if it affects visibility on Lemmy though.
If I needed a chip in my head to function in society, I think I would just withdraw from society. I’m barely comfortable with our reliance on smartphones and internet connection in our day to day lives.
Welp, I recommend getting it out of your system while you can
