Ah you got me fam, let me donate some more to Biden’s election fund to make up for it

I’ve never seen something “go viral” like this on lemmy before.

I think they are just trends that start becoming popular because people are bored. At least, that’s how it can start.

I imagine for every user that’s like “that’s cool!”, there’s another user who’s like “alright time to avoid Lemmy for a while”, so perhaps there is not much to glean from the metrics.

Am interested in any data too though, if it’s there

Here’s the description by both:

sh.itjust.works:

A bilingual (EN/FR) general-purpose instance located in eastern Canada! Powered by 99% renewable energy! Everyone is welcome eh.

Lemmy.World:

A generic Lemmy server for everyone to use. (…) Lemmy.World is a general-purpose Lemmy instance of various topics, for the entire world to use

The comments about instances being “good” or “bad” is just plain ol’ tribalism.

Users get attacked for the instances they registered to, even if they were unaware of instance politics when they actually registered. That sucks!
