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.

    A lot of the time I’ll read a thread, realise I have nothing useful to add, and move on.

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

    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.

    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.

    Thanks for this post. Yet another power tripper that is blocked (from the drama link)
