    Why would a guy who called their free labor “landed gentry” and thinks Elon Musk is running the site formerly known as twitter well, not go after where a shit ton of his content creators went? It’s stupid enough to be him, lol.

      You drastically over estimate the number of people who were creating content on Reddit leaving for Lemmy.

      The entire population of Lemmy is smaller than a mid sized cat sub on Reddit and the only content that is being reliably generated is memes.

      Yes, a few subs did have their communities split, and some left permanently. But if you think Reddit corporate got at all bothered by Lemmy’s MAU numbers… no, they’re not that great.

      A bunch of mods did indeed stop activity on Reddit, but all in all there’s been no practicable drop in volume.

        Do you think that I haven’t been back to check? The niche groups are fine, the bigger ones are hurting for content. I can read you know.
