They are getting desperate

If there’s a community that only exists there, be the change you want to see: create it somewhere else and give it time to grow. You’re not the only one making this complaint about .ml, and you probably wont’ be the last.

Maybe we should open a thread on !fedigrow@lemm.ee about this

Upgrade ongoing. They announced it yesterday

Traditions can be discriminatory

Shout out to Piefed and its 75 monthly active users: https://piefed.fediverse.observer/dailystats

It has been a while that Nitter shut down. Still a pity, a few artists posted only there

You can really see how invested the copyright owners were to get such long durations.

Guess they never heard about emails

Feel free to post your own interesting content

Version 0.19 counts votes as active users.

Previous version only counted comments and posts

Probably because he stopped growing a while ago, he's 34

He really is the MCU Jesus

To be honest the issue is more about the power tripping than politics. Banning someone from the Arch Linux community because they disagree with you seems strange

Lemmy.zip name is really unfortunate

LW is already much more active than lemmy.ml (18k monthly active users vs 2.5k: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy/), so the system is working, people have left for a less politically biased instance

Indeed, but this is more about admins banning users from the entire instance because they don't share the same political views.

Probably not that unpopular around here

!linux@lemmy.world seems ok, I guess if any people move to it it will become even more active

!linux@programming.dev could probably be a nice one too if people want to avoid hypercentralization on LW

Well, as always I'll recommend our small existing community !harrypotter@literature.cafe

Literature.cafe is a lovely instance, Gabe the admin is a very nice person.

Good luck with your instance, I'll probably visit

I wouldn't mind having maybe twice the population and activity we have right now.

We don't need millions, but 100k would be a nice community, with enough people to discuss more niche topics, and more creators posting their work.
