I have the same issue with Reddit, there’s a middle size good quality subreddit about my specific job which is the best place on the internet to see news and discussions about it in one place. It helps me increase and test my knowledge a lot.
I try to contribute to things getting better, sometimes through polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with your comment ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.
Let’s discuss to refine the arguments that make things better sustainably.
Always happy to question our beliefs.

The sheer coverage of every subject on Reddit is crazy. Yesterday I was getting infuriated at a stupid plot in the 3 Body Problem, so I ddged it, and of course I found 3 Reddit threads sharing my frustrations. What a shame it has to get enshitified.

2% of active users vs 18% for Mastodon though. I’m impressed by Mastodon’s percentage, how comes?
In France, just using the word race to talk about humans is considered racist.
Edit: for people who don’t believe that, he’s an article about that and its consequences when George Floyd-like events happen in France. https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20230705-france-colorblind-nahel-immigration-talk-about-race-laicite-secularism
You should block the meme communities if you dislike it, keep the communities with contributions you like.
Any public action can be considered politics and I’m not asking for complete neutrality. The free software movement has freedom of the user in it’s core philosophy. This is not necessarily the case of some radical left movements. So I’m hoping that the free software philosophy prevrails in the case of Lemmy’s development.
There a different levels of personal data but a unique identifier for a user is one of them because it allows linking information together about a single person, and from there you can try to identify the real person. So an option would be to overwrite all the occurrences of this identifier with random data so you can’t link data together anymore, as long as it’s not also personal data.
Since you’re very upfront with your political preferences, how much did it play a role in motivating you to create Lemmy? Was it a tech experiment first and a political project second?
Do you have some kind of core principle to not let your political preferences excessively interfere with your role as founders, main developers and moderators of Lemmy?
ScyllaDB or CassanraDB
Distributed columnar databases are a different breed, migrating to that would not be trivial as it comes with a reduction of features compared to a traditional SQL databases, such as partial SQL support, bad join performances and lack of secondary indexes.
Yes there is, but very little subscribers and no activity. I think it’s too niche to have the required critcal size with the current size of the Lemmy user base.
