That’s why it’s so juicy, they’re all such terrible people we don’t have to pick sides

There’s no way in hell an AI wrote that, only a human brain can come up with something that cheesy

The issue at play is the big corporate companies

I’m guessing you weren’t around before these guys ate up the internet?

The issue at play IS the big corporate companies. Period.

Modern web usage has allowed for better accessibility to all ages and types.

One could argue that this is part of the problem.

Oh. Part of my job is making complicated procedures and sometimes it helps to print them out and go over with a pen. Didn’t realize that doesn’t work for code. Now I know!

Hello, I’m here from all, could someone please explain the joke to me?

God I need a job like yours. Lucky bastard.

After the fox news thing, the sane ones split and left for r/workreform. Which is a more reasonable community whose tone was, “we don’t mind working but we want to be fairly treated, and the best way to assure that is through unionizing or leaving for better jobs”. None of that “I literally think no one should work and someone else should pay all of our bills” crap.

because in your terms beehaw/lemmy is dead

Huh? No, I’d say the opposite, the fediverse is in the sweet spot right now.

Whoa, no way!

I need to go edit my community

The one great thing about mega communities with long histories is recommendations. I would go to r/movies and search through old “what’s the best [x] movie” a LOT. Or in my city sub, “where’s the best burger”, etc

But yeah, I think the bad mostly outweighs the good.

1. I love that “kbinauts” is gaining traction

2. I wish kbin made it more obvious what instance a given thread in your feed is from. If it’s from lemmy, I know I can post memes and I should be prepared for flame wars. If it’s from beehaw, I know I can have a thoughtful and respectful conversation. I’m okay with either, but I don’t want to accidentally write an essay on lemmy that no one will read, or pick a fight on beehaw with someone who had no ill intent.

If it’s from kbin I know we’ll spend some time talking about how great everything is and how we’re all just stoked to be here 😁

There’s a sweet spot. A dead forum is of no use to anyone. Reddit had a good few years where there were enough users to have a good exchange of information, and not a sea of low effort posts. I think it all changed when they started advertising their app and “new reddit” on Facebook.

Beehaw in particular is difficult to find the correct syntax to search on kbin. If you’re signed into your kbin account, and you enter the url https://kbin.social/m/technology@beehaw.org you’ll get to this community. Likewise, https://kbin.social/m/science@beehaw.org is the beehaw science community, etc

As for finding communities in the first place, I just open a new tab and go to https://beehaw.org/communities
