Good! HistoryMemes is starting to get other regular contributors. HistoryIllustrations and HistoryPorn also have been seeing more contributions from other posters.

I dream of the day when I can post only rarely and silently upvote other people’s content instead.

!fedimemes@feddit.uk got quite active from the start, now I have to think about a few other ideas for memes

Thank you @Microw@lemm.ee , @JupiterRowland@sh.itjust.works and @blue_berry@lemmy.world !

!dailygames@lemmy.zip is cruising along nicely with multiple games being played every day.

!superbowl@lemmy.world had its worst day ever yesterday as far as downvotes go. I normally get the random 1 or 2, in rare cases it can creep near 10, but we almost got 80 yesterday!

I went to do my morning posts and saw a regular commenter shared some AI art they had enjoyed, and while nobody said anything, they were really smacking the downvotes. I tried to diffuse the situation a bit, especially since it’s a regular commenter whom I enjoy, and I don’t want the community to drive off one of the few actual participants we have.

While everyone already had the sticks up their butts, I decided to share the one cartoon post I had in my queue, which we also eventually learned was AI generated, so the same group brigaded me pretty much. Joke’s on them though, because it got appeal to All since it was a comic, so it’s probably my top post for the year.

Posted some more normal things today and everyone seems to have moved on. I debated if I was going to post anything today after what I considered kinda crappy behavior from the group, but I took the high road. But if bad reactions make me hesitate to post, they certainly aren’t helping anyone on the fence.

There has been a good smattering of posts from people other than me lately, so I hope it continues, but people need to be more chill.

!truecomics@midwest.social is coming along. It’s nice to have posts get 100+ upvotes instead of just 10-20.

My communities are all going slow and steady as usual. !cybermoe@ani.social is likely to reach 1k subs soon.

I’ve been really enjoying !deadlock@sopuli.xyz and helping with an active lemmy community for the game has been fun. Even made an original meme.

I’m a little cross with the mod of !touhou@lemmy.world as they’ve banned me for “deliberate” rule-breaking. Not marking posts NSFW whenever danbooru arbitrarily rates them as “sensitive”. This despite the rules not requiring this, but rather requesting that posters use the same verbal guidelines. (I complied the first time the mod complained, the second time my post was obviously safe, so as nothing made sense to me at that point, I responded by deleting it along with a promise not to post anymore, this got me banned for “deliberately breaking community rules”)

As such I’ll be taking !touhou@ani.social under my wing instead, so go sub there if you like Touhou, or the type of content I post in general :D

Happy with the traction on !showsandmovies@lemm.ee, got a few other people posting, hope to get more in the future

I hoped some other people would start posting anniversaries in !anniversaries@feddit.nl once I’ve posted a bunch, but sadly I’m still the only one.
