Massive numbers of users is great for a business, but not necessarily great for discussion.

Lemmy doesn't feel like Reddit, but in a good way. Individual comments actually stand out, and it's not a sea of lowest common denominator trash and reposts.

I think people should stop conflating big numbers with success. If anything, we've seen the kind of nonsense big numbers lead to, with an IPO on the horizon and all that comes with that.

100%. Quality not quantity. There was clearly a tipping point where reddit blew up and the quality of responses from the "average" user went off a cliff

Like I said, it's just some raw data. Process it however you see fit.

I'd say she did prosess it however she saw fit.
