I’ve not heard of it before but a problematic lemmy user who got banned multiple times for sinophobia and other bigotry/harassment has became a mod of a Political Compass Memes sub on there (they haven’t it’s a lemmy thing, my bad) and the posts on that sub are already rolling out the sinophobia.

This isn’t meant to be a brigade against one user or platform, it’s more I’m shocked that sub has being allowed given the abject shit takes and bigotry that meme sub reddit generates and I find that concern tracks when past problematic users are being made mods for it.

Or is that just another lemmy instance? Ngl it all gets a bit confusing for me trapped here on lemmygrad.

Edit: I think it’s a lemmy.perthchat sub not a beehaw sub, apologies for any confusion. Still PCM is a disgrace regardless and the fact there’s one connected to lemmy now is a bit 🤮

    When I say “active” I did mean actually commenting and engaging. So the random number I pulled out my butt was not too terribly far off. I do tend to also brows individual coms and when going off the main page traffic drops pretty sharp and often it feels like a lot of coms are somewhat dead unless one of their posts randomly makes it to the main page. Although that doesn’t surprise me too much. A lot of what we go their for is just lefty news and stuff. If I wanted cat pictures or to talk about cooking or fermenting foods I’d just go to reddit or something.

    I do find it interesting how, despite the significant increase in overall traffic at Hexbear, both there and here has a similar trend of having a handful of users that tend to comment in just about every major thread. Which I think also gives the impression of a smaller user base when you see a small number of familiar commenters everywhere you look.

      It’s not a new phenomenon. It’s pretty well understood and I’d definitely say subreddits and lemmy follow this rule, ultimately the only way forwards is massive growth to raise the pool of that that 1% and 9%.
