  • A couple of things that come to mind

    • advertise, drop the name here and there, especially on reddit because it is so similar in purpose, also share posts from lemmy with friends
    • interact with communities you’re interested in, make sure there’s good content or at least comment, especially in smaller, nicr communities
    • improve user experience, Lemmy is slow, especially when loading subscriptions, also posts reappear all the time while scrolling
    • more casual content, I don’t want to be confronted with all the horrors going on in the world all the time, sometimes I just want to see something funny, apolitical, etc, something chill















  • I’ll say it again, we have to start pushing in the opposite direction. Some examples:

    • Make it a basic right to not have any data about you collected unless strictly necessary for the service delivered.
    • Forbid data brokers and any other attempts to combine data from different sources.
    • Criminalize data leaks. Financial or medical malpractice can land people in prison or cause them to lose jobs. So should privacy/data malpractice. Note: negligence is a form of malpractice. It should not be possible to get away with a slap on the wrist kind of fine after a major data breach.
    • Use the most extreme examples and statistics. Cambridge analytica was at the basis of a major attack on democracy using data from Facebook etc. Both Facebook, Cambridge analytica and benefitting parties should be held accountable in such a case.
