I don’t know what kind of engagement to expect, but I made a post encouraging Raddle users to come here. It appeared to be an exclusively leftist space and be an active forum.
Having styled this post as an AMA, I may be unprepared for some of their questions. I haven’t been on here very long, and may be fielding questions that are better directed to Lemmy devs or long-time users. I am happy to x-post questions and answers to their platform on your behalves
Shoutout to @Amorphous@lemmygrad.ml for giving me the idea in the chapo thread
follow up: “That would be great, comrade. While you’re at it, can you also ask them why lemmy’s database queries take 40ms? Postmill’s only take 2ms. This proved to be an unmitigated disaster when Lemmy got a little bit of traffic the other day and became unusable.”
We are taking care of the database situation, it will just take some time. Not that easy to handle thousands of new users flooding in all of a sudden (plus a ddos).
Anyway like I said in the other thread, it wont help anything engaging with these people because they obviously already made up their mind. And having more users just means more moderation and admin work for us, and less time coding on federation.
I guess I was hoping that others (outside of some of the assholes asking questions) might learn about Lemmy and check it out. You’re probably right though, I’m pretty certain these questions are rhetorical and after I’ve been downvoted enough, nobody would listen to me. Asking shit like, “yes, I have a question, why do you suck?”
Its really not a good idea to engage with them, even the reddit anarchist community hates them. They’re a very specific sect of post-left european lifestyle anarchists that harasses any socialists off the site.
Lmao I didn’t even know that there was infighting between different sects of online anarchists.
Anarchist infighting, shocking!
