And 4 years on, I still can’t figure out whether it’s because of neurospiciness or divergent interests. Linux? 471 communities. Writing? 2 and the mods of the second one abandoned their accounts years ago
Maybe it’s because even within the fediverse, there are too many people who agree to satirized positions unironically. i.e. Lemmy is just a little too diverse for most satire.
In certain ways, maybe. I can’t see eye to eye with some people on what constitutes a genocide, for instance. But there comes a point where it’s apparently either satire or a an objectively crazy user. It’s equally apparent who this split Is apparent to, on this open source communist Linux forum.
It’s my personal belief that lemmy at large is simply too experientially limited to recognize online satire outside of incredibly specific examples. Mostly meme templates. And there’s nothing wrong with that, but it is a little frustrating for me, personally.
Lemmy is still a relatively young community. I bet it gets better with time. I like to think that I already noticed small (and healthy) community growths.
And I do not have a metric nor an example. This is super vague, I know.
A lot of users came here to boycott reddit. Taking this kind of action is quite hard when it comes to dopamine sources like reddit. The users that migrated have at least in common that they overcame the reddit pull and also took the time and energy to land in a lemmy instance. I’m curious what Lemmy will look like in 5 to 10 years with this kind of “user starter” on the “lemmy agar”.
All of which this platform will be oblivious to, because Lemmy just doesn’t do satire.
Lemmy hates the shit out of satire lol

Pretty sure it’s the tism.

Damn autists, taking everything literally
No, you must be thinking of kleptomaniacs
No, no, that’s “literally taking everything,” but now we’re getting into the realm of dyslexics
Lemmy is a big guy.
For you

I’m pretty sure it’s because most of the people here are on the spectrum.
