Gees, I wonder why dead communities are dead?

People want content but don’t realize how annoying it can be to post things: especially things that you took time to make. You have to have a pretty thick skin, and tbh no one can blame you for thinking its not worth it.

I always appreciate your posts. Don’t let the haters and trolls get you down. Thanks for staying positive, and just keep doing your thing!

Totally this. If every content creator succumbed to the negative comments, there would be no content. Just ignore them, or say your peace in response if that’s what you need to do.

Uplifting News has a rule against shadenfruede, so that could be why your post was not taken well there.

Well the first complaint is kinda fair, as it’s meant to be a break from the constant flood of political news.

2nd does sound interesting TBH, not sure what the issue with that would be.

I didn’t see the replies to the second one, but the image looked fake, possibly AI generated. The news was that train carriages were being converted to private shelters for homeless people, with their own beds and storage, but the image showed a row of neatly made double beds down either side of a carriage with a walkway up the middle, all of which clearly wouldn’t fit inside a carriage.

Given the reactions to anything AI on Lemmy, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was something to do with that.

Oh yeah that was 100% it. People downvote anything that even looks remotely AI generated.

Yeah, Lemmy’s anti AI allergy is kind of ridiculous, like a lot of Reddit too.

I personally feel that lemmee is a human centric place. Not over on with bots or AI so I can understand this. That’s what I am escaping being here.

Cherry@piefed.social · 1 day ago

IMO - I find it quiet here, on the other hand I censor myself and try not to respond for just responding. Mostly because I don’t want the place turning like Reddit. Secondly I get sick of the internet knowing so much, so the less I comment the better.

So it’s a bit of a two sided issue, not sure if others feel the same.

I also feel I haven’t mastered my settings to see the right stuff yet.

To find the right stuff, I subscribe to non-political and non-tech communities, then browse “subscribed” by “new”.

click here for a list of communities that are NOT politics, tech, or meme -related.

Most are currently active (except for the ones with a * which were less active last I checked) Sometimes politics, tech or memes sneak in but they’re not the focus.

Most of these are currently active. (except for the ones with a * which were less active last I checked). Sometimes these include politics but that’s not the sole focus.

It can feel disheartening and thankless sometimes unfortunately
