It’s not. It’s off topic and should be deleted

Edit: can we please stop upvoting everything that insults Reddit? If you are defined by hating your ex, you need a new personality.

Idk, it was ao small. I think the fun was going a few blocks over and getting a totally different vibe/community. Can’t see how playing “whisper down the lane” ends up with good news coverage

Ultimate local news source? As a guy who spent way too much time on that app 10 years ago, wtf are you talking about?

Impressive post count??

Oh dear god not this argument again

You’re going to get yelled at by lefties on any instance. That’s how federation works.

Hipster archetype?

Maybe you need the context of all the transphobic shit that’s happened lately, like the Olympics boxing stuff? Idk, it still seems transphobic without context. No clue who this guy is though

So I double checked… Cleveland metro is 2.1 million but that is a subset of a statistical area called “Cleveland-Akron-Canton” which is almost 4 million

Cleveland has a population of 360k. The metro area is apparently closer to 4 million.

Just putting that out there

Yeah, even just in this post, they started engaging in bath faith arguments about how they “found an empty community” and all they did was “make a post.”

Tankie is when you spam anti-US imperialism on inappropriate communities.

Why would you co-opt a random community to spam off topic shit? That makes even less sense?? You just felt compelled to post anti-US stuff in a random empty community? Why?

This is a good point. I checked the community and it’s all complaining about ml and tankies. So why would a post about American imperialism be relevant? OP was banned with the comment “commie?” and honestly I get why. It sounds like a tankie move to post anti-US imperialism stuff to a community like that. Although commie isn’t a synonym for tankie, tankie is a subset of communist.

OP’s name is also a reference to Lenin, making me question their motives here. Liking Lenin doesn’t make one a tankie per se but it makes me skeptical.

Edit: the account is also 3 days old. I wonder if it’s an alt from a ml person

I have absolutely had anti-tankie comments deleted on Lemmy.ml. I literally just said something like “Hexbear is a bunch of tankies” and it got deleted.

That being said, I wouldn’t support defederation just because they have some annoying mods.

Edit: a couple other points. OP has a 3 day old account that isn’t from ml but is named in reference to Lenin. They posted anti-US imperialism stuff to a community dedicated to complaining about ml and tankies. Thats just off topic and spamming a community. I suspect OP might originally be from ml

I run many small communities and it kills me when people from “all” downvote stuff.

If you don’t care about the topic, block the community or skip the posts

Activity seems to be up, not just users. It’s also active users, not just accounts

And pie charts with more than 3 segments

Did Reddit do something stupid to scare people away again?

Still look less awkward than pie charts. And yeah, I wouldn’t use a log scale for a viz unless it’s going into a professional publication

I think engagement is often driven when people see active communities though. Can’t have that without posts in communities. Sort of a chicken and egg thing ig.

I post in some communities where I’m the only person posting for weeks and nobody comments. I post in others where I’m just a contributor and people engage in the comments.
