Comment on Can we please unpin the proprietary off-site/off-network promotion of discord

  Well, I would try to use it, then I would see the pinned post, and then it would remind me that I’m not a fan of that decision, so I would go back to my alt.

  Monthly active users on LW have decreased in August compared to July, so maybe it’s a trend, who knows.

  It’s strange for me to have you trying to say that my opinion doesn’t count as I’m still contributing very regularly to LW communities such as !casualconversation@lemmy.world.

  What is the threshold of time spent on a LW account from which a user’s concern are legit, according to you?

    my opinion doesn’t count

    It literally doesn’t count because it’s about what LW users see, not you. Your main account is on discuss.tchncs.de and you haven’t used your LW alt for weeks, so please be honest and disclose that in your future comments.

      I’m not even sure what you would prefer, to have me on my LW account everyday complaining about having that pinned thread? I thought the Fediverse was about freedom of choice, not forcing users to see things they don’t want.

      Lemmy.world is still the most populated instance of the Fediverse. It is the default instance for a lot of users, including new joiners using Sync.

      As such, you are going to have people with opinions on how the instance should handle such topics such as this one.

      Anyway, let’s agree to disagree.
