  • Its huge and he said what everyone’s thinking. But i think the reason people werent saying it was because they dont believe the second part of his statement. I think they dont believe we(democratic countries) CAN build a new democratic rules based order.

    Fingers crossed that the US gets a sane leader in soon. Mentally I’m thinking the biggest problem democratic countries need to solve is a way to insulate against information warfare and manipulated narratives.













  • Its hard to break into peoples minds with no advertising budget.We can’t tell people on reddit about Lemmy because reddit bans your account.

    Lemmy got a ton of traffic after the api black out and it did an incredible Job at retaining a lot of those users. There were 200k active users and Lemmy was much more unstable at the time. Active users did fall off as expected but 50k stayed for 2 years. Thats great in my opinion. If we had another migration wave I reckon the retention would be even higher.

    For someone to switch from reddit to Lemmy three things need to happen

    1. They need to know it exists

    2. They need to dislike reddit or centralised corporate controlled social media on an ideological level.

    3. They need something disruptive to happen. Either a ban or a change they dont like.
