  • It’s the inverse that is true actually -

    As Lemmy becomes more popular it will drift from being so tech focused.

    Many popular sites gradually drifted off of tech focus as their user base grew. R*ddit is a prime example of how a very nerdy niche site grew and shifted to be popular (sorta) organically.

    I do think that for all the hullabaloo about Ellen Pao and banning a bunch of subreddits - that actually did more to open the place up to users who were otherwise driven away by /r/FatPeopleHate and /r/Jailbait being on the front page all the time.

    If Lemmy were to change to attract users it would likely be from increased defederation with instances that are less palatable to mainstream society.

    Reading any ACOTAR (a court of mist and fury, listed above) is such an enormous waste of time though.

    Like if you want to enjoy some smut go for it but it’s really devoid of any merit besides being erotic.

    Claiming you’re reading when it’s actually ACOTAR is like saying you’re watching cinema when it’s Backdoor Sluts 8.

    You might be right technically but nobody would agree with you.




  • Not OP here and I’ll vote for her in the election 100% but the concerns I’ve seen raised most often are:

    She was a cop and her history reflects the history of being a cop. Being a prosecutor means that you’re pressuring innocent people into jail time plea deals and using cops to back up your arguments all the time. She’s the epitome of back the blue.

    That makes her a great choice against the “Law and Order” fascist felon at least.
