Context: PugJesus often spams low quality posts across the dozen or so communities they mod, apparently downvoting low effort spam on my frontpage is trolling. The only other action in the modlog is a different ban for 74 years for “Mass downvoting innocuous content,” so it definitely seems they are just banning people that dislike their spam. Glad we’re not missing out on the reddit mod experience here.
Probably. It’s just a rule of thumb. . Say 10% of people using the
siteplatform have an account and 10% of them post/comment.So more like 99% lurk.
On corporate social media sites, lurkers still provide (ad) revenue, but on Lemmy they are leeches. They use our community’s resources while contributing nothing.
Hard disagree. And that kind of talk will not lead to this place flourishing.
What does a flourishment of non-participants get us but increased hosting costs?
What if Wikipedia had that attitude?
