All I see are rows of empty questions. Did something scare everyone away? Don’t tell me everything got empty after the last drama happened.

      Many is the time I’ve gotten halfway through typing a response only to lose interest in my own opinion.

        Same here. I type a response, read before submitting, only to decide it is not worth putting out anyway. I only manage to submit comments when it is related to cooking.

    No idea about anyone else, but I tend to only chime in if the question spurs some kind of thought, or I have a story that matches, or some other kind of quasi useful input.

    So it can be weeks before I jump in, or multiples in the same day.

    I know beggars can’t be choosers and if every rule breaking post was removed this community would probably only have a few posts left- but frankly, most of the questions just aren’t very good

    Nothing but anecdotal, but it kinda looks like Bluesky is becoming a thing. Couple that with a lot of people taking a step back from the world right now.

      brazil jumped from twitter, that was a huge part of it. the election caused another wave.

      bluesky is just twitter with faux-federation. it will end up with the same issues eventually when its board decides to recoup.

      The dotnet conference is happening right now and I was surprised to hear a couple of the speakers advertising their Bluesky. They had accounts on other social media too, but that seemed to be their main one. These are tech enthusiasts so it makes some sense, but it’s always seemed like an afterthought whenever I’ve seen profiles linked before.

      An admin banned the lead mod of Casual Conversation before doxxing her both on here and (whether or not by proxy) YouTube (with loads of misinformation mixed in since mixing slander with doxxing makes it awkward to report someone for one of those), as well as apparently Twitter too, and doing the equivalent of revenge ****, despite the fact another mod who just happened to be told to gang up on her and excuse themselves with similar reasons as him (because she mentioned people who were crying over Kamala Harris needing to win or failing to win were being drama queens and that the OP she was commenting on wasn’t even true and thus broke the community’s very rules on misinformation, which didn’t matter to the person banning her as he sided with said misinformation which was enough for him) established that this was against the rules both on there and on ML, with the irony of her being allowed worse treatment than an actual Nazi by people who are not yet defederated escaping nobody, all because he didn’t like the fact she pointed out how counterintuitive it was Kamala Harris appeals to both the LGBT and Islamic communities (since one persecutes the other).

        How is linking to freely and publicly available information to their profile links considered doxxing?

          It looks like it’s a different situation. One thing is linking one account to other account, if it’s relevant. Other thing is leaving all your stuff at once, perfect for someone stalking you. That person was completely stalking that user.

    that’s in interesting perspective since i’m seeing the opposite with responses to all the questions.

    i go through asklemmy every morning while i’m caffeinating at the start of each day because the questions usually wake me up with a WTF or a TIL.

    i must be on their blocked list. lol

    also: i wonder at how it weighs on your soul & outlook to feel like you have to curate such a list in a safe space.
