Maybe it would be best to focus more time on non-meta topics, like sports communities, gaming communities, hobbyist communities, etc.

I am the main poster on

And a few other communities. I even organize a weekly thread on !fedigrow@lemm.ee so that other "main posters" can discuss about their feeling of "shouting into the void" (https://sh.itjust.works/post/31030466)

I feel that the neverending discussions of what is going on with whatever Lemmy server or communities and what needs to be done about it become a self fulfilling prophecy. The more that people focus on it, the more they tend to disagree.

!onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone shows the opposite. All interested users went to it, posted content, and reached 3k daily active users, which is more than !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone . They all agreed, and found at least one community that they can use from now on, whatever happens with !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone

It doesn’t need to be linked all over Lemmy every time that happens.

It's usually limited to !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com. It wouldn't have spread over all Lemmy hadn't the mods decided to lock that community, basically forcing the Blahaj users to start a new community that would get visibility on /All.

Although some drama gets generated along with that, the alternative would be to leave the blatant lies and bad faith tactics unchecked, which would be a much bigger problem imo.

Your conclusion is the same that makes people post to !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com.

If the objective is to offer a better alternative than Reddit, we have to evidence that there are indeed countermeasures against power tripping mods and admins. !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com is that countermeasure. And if people don't like drama, they can just block that community. Same for !fedimemes@feddit.uk , one of the recurrent themes are going to be drama, as it's the easiest context to create memes about.
