      That’s a great point. Even if it’s used as a verb, it could mean throwing a banana peel behind you while driving.

    I also just got a warning, lol. Fuck them, I really need to come here more often :-/

    Gravitated back to Reddit due to lacking content unfortunately…

      Good thing we just got a giant influx of users. ;) Play with how you sort things on the main page. Top 1 and 6 hour post are great for new content.

      Not really, the community mod gets to say yes or no to the post. As long as Luigi Mangione coverage doesn’t incite violence, it too can be greenlit.

      Meh, I’m not so sure. We need to get used to the fact that reddit’s fuckery is unlikely to ever re-produce the massive influx of new users that the API nonsense did in 2023. That was a one-off thing that drove out all the OG users. The people left on reddit are the types that refer to it as an “app” and probably don’t even know old.reddit exists. Those kinds of people will grumble but they aren’t going anywhere. And frankly, that’s fine by me.

      Edit: lmao okay, okay, Lemmy got 6 new users today. I get it. My point that we’re never going to see another user influx on the scale of the summer 2023 API changes has been proven wrong. Congrats everyone. Let’s hope half of them actually stick around.

    One thing I just noticed about this place is that posts get a lot of engagement, but there aren’t a ton of posts. That means there are a lot of lurkers, but not enough posters.

    So if you just came here from reddit, start posting!

      There are lurkers but many of the active commenters are frankly just more active in voting and commenting. Lemmy has much more engagement than Reddit for commenters because it’s a small community and the way comments are default sorted. You don’t need to make a comment early to end up on the top of the thread. You just need to get about two up votes and it’ll put you at the top. If what you said is worthwhile then you’ll get a lot more after that

      Edit: one of the benefits of this is it encourages high quality late comments. On Reddit those would largely get ignored, but here engagement like that is encouraged.

      Reddit is a group of internet users with the vision of free speech, but directed by shareholder and policy makers.

      So glad I ditched Reddit.
