From news, to shitposting, to memes, to more shitposting, Lemmy feels vibrant, active, lighthearted, fun and even powerful. Mastodon feels like a fucking funeral.

    Quality is higher when people want to be somewhere specific based on content or types of users and not because of the number of users.

    Quality goes down when people are somewhere because everyone else is there.

    The latter tends to have a higher proportion of malicious trolls and other people who crave conflict because they need a large enough crowd to get away with those kind of behaviors.
