you ever see streamers ban accounts that say “cheap viewers, buy here” and other such comments? this is what their cheap viewers look like

on reddit if you search by new, you may be like the only commenter ever on a post, and if you go to posts with whole ass discussions, your post may not be visible unless you say something that pisses half the people off.

on lemmy more often than not people search by new, so posts and comments don’t just die instantly. conversing generally feels better when you aren’t late and others also converse

I think that’s more mastodon’s flawed search than anything. Cause it’ll only look for the specific term, so if someone don’t use Kendrick’s full name, it’s not gonna show up. Or if you look by tag, you won’t see much anything cause no one tags half their stuff
