By 2035 everyone who actually likes computers will be primary using Linux.

Jesus, this fucking paranoid bitch can barely string a sentence together. He must be neck deep in the techbro CEO k-hole…

Also, as an Irish leftist, he should leave my people out of his delusional and incoherent ranting.

Sure, but the fact that you’re at least still active on Lemmy and paying attention makes it less of a problem.

The ghost communities I’m really talking about are the ones where you click on the moderator’s profile and find that they don’t even seem to be active on Lemmy much at all anymore. At that point, those communities have zero chance of growing because they’ll quickly be unmoderated, and to my knowledge we have nothing like Reddit’s “subreddit request” in place where unmoderated communities can be taken over from absent moderators.

Obviously not every community is going to be super active all the time, that’s not a problem. The problem are the communities on popular servers that have “reserved” good names, are inactive and effectively unmoderated. Those types of communities are only serving to pollute the namespace of the most popular servers, imo.
