Mastodon really runs on direct post engagement, especially boosts, to make the whole thing work without an algorithm

It’s very similar to tumblr in that a boost is supposed to function like a like/upvote to spread content, since no automated algorithm is going to suggest that post for you.

But I’m sure people are also trying to grow their networks quick, since it’s sort of a hollow experience without it

I predict at ~200,000 users, there will be a good enough flow of posts and comments that it won’t feel as empty compared to Reddit.

Beanie babies will be how they refer to the initial waves of users on Lemmy in the future

Yes I think about Hacker News, which isn’t technically sophisticated nor does it have a massive userbase (a little less than 1 million registered accounts).

It manages to have a steady stream of content and an active commenting base

“Restricting information sets a dangerous precedent”

Yeah, that’s why this is all happening. People do not want 3rd party apps shuttered and information restricted

This post is real life Black Mirror shit

Then they should call them. They specifically asked

It might backfire. They could end up feeding us piano key/panda nutrient blends in our cages once they enslave us all.

It only asks if I CAN eat the piano, which makes it viable as a correct choice as well
