Even here, the guy you’re responding to is getting down voted to oblivion (for Lemmy anyways) for an opinion that I have echoed elsewhere and gotten the opposite response.
Not having the majority opinion of this community seems to mean downvotes too. The only real difference is that reddit has enough staying power for people to put up with it.


That would be true worst case, but you’re never running inference 24/7. It’s no crazier than gaming in that regard.
It’s unclear to me what you’re trying to achieve, and it seems like a counterproductive way to go about it, prone to failure, and needlessly expensive for anything of moderate size.
You’re probably over indexing on the importance of downvotes if you’re just doing this for yourself. If you’re looking to make something actually useful to everyone, votes are probably an indicator of interest.
Personally, I read the readme and concluded that that project wasn’t worth my time given the model and AI generated walls of text to tell me it has mobile accessible webpages and end to end encryption. Neither of which is a significant or revolutionary feature in 2025(almost 26) and are basically expectations.


That might be true, but claiming that people only moved because they were propagandized into doing so by a for-profit company is absurd.


This is incredibly reductive and at best looking at mumble through Rose tinted glasses.
Mumble has had a rocky past as a useful piece of software and it’s absolutely not been a discord competitor any more than TeamSpeak is a discord competitor.
Maybe it’s changed recently, but mumble has not had the feature set that made discord useful in the first place.
If you’d like evidence of the toxic or extreme side of Lemmy, it’s not hard to find. Are we really disagreeing that this is a problem with Lemmy? Regardless, you’re misrepresenting OP with the “declare the other side is unbiased”.
This conversation started started with pushing back on the idea of using Lemmy as a solution to small site discoverability. The toxicity and social aspects are perfectly relevant.
