Yeah, I don't get these articles. Most users don't stick around on a platform, but if enough do and form a critical mass, it'll succeed.

Kinda. Lemmy doesn't have anywhere near 50 million users, but the thousands we do have is enough to keep the community churning away.

Plus the bots help. Bots posting things from news organizations and taking from Reddit help this place have content.

I'm not a fan of the bots - they spam the same link across a bunch of communities.

I'd much prefer real engagement, but I can block them, so that's fine, I guess.

I’ve noticed it on all social media sites; this desire to talk down about the other platforms and reinforce why yours is the best. Which in part, I get it. If you really liked Twitter you wouldn’t necessarily be hanging out here, but these articles are definitely weird. It’s like following your ex just so you can tell yourself you’re better off now.
