The participation seems way down recently. What did I miss?

Yep it's down a lot. I think it's because it's just memes and also quite hard moderation and downvotes. It feels like a reddit clone that has the exact same mindset as reddit. I get annoyed when I see people being moderated for having an opinion that is not popular.

I saw a post being locked yesterday for asking about moderation. Doesn't anyone else see the problem with that? Your channels rules are not more important than making people feel they can talk and express what's on their mind.

I hate that so much. Stop treating people like they are just resources to moderate.

I don't see much discussions. But I'm sure there is a few here and there.

Turns out the shittest people from Reddit came here and became mods, who woulda thought lmaoooooooo

Accurate, except Lemmy mods are more the shittiest tankies/libs of Reddit. The vast majority of conservatives don't seem to have come here; probably to truth social, 4chan, and other established strongholds where they don't have to ever see opposing opinions.
