My paranoid theory is that some people* don’t like the idea of social media not run by companies.
But look, he’s gone
Pretty much what I’ve been doing
There was a huge one on Lemmy.World, which was probably the 2nd most active community on lemmy, next to this one.
Lemmy.world has been the target of lots of attacks in general since Lemmy got popular, and the latest one was targeting that specific community with CSAM spam. After dealing with the attacks, the admins shut down the targeted community out of caution and haven’t reopened yet. I don’t blame them for being extra safe, but it sucks that we don’t have a good shitposting community now.
I’ve felt a little guilty about dropping dumb stuff in meme communities. I miss lemmyshitpost.

You were one class off from greatness
But he promised those pics were just for him!
It’s why I’ve found myself gravitating to the less defederation-happy instances. But a new user wouldn’t know to do that.
Counterpoint: new users who don’t know the ins and outs of the fediverse might join an instance at random and see significantly less content.
Sorry, no. I took this meme from elsewhere
Don’t tell it. I’ve been hiding from it for years!
Damn, I’ve based about 60% of my life on it and figured that would be enough.
Convincing a captcha that I’m smarter than an AI is getting hard
