Lemmy is active enough as is and the apps are great but I still have that unfortunate ingrained habit where I keep coming back to abusive Reddit.
I should instead focus my attention to contributing to the conversation here, sharing articles and creating original content.
Get permabanned. My offense: virulent anti-nazism (the offending comment had 64 up votes when it was deleted). Not very compelling once they ban you. I commented that we should take President Eisenhower’s approach to dealing with Nazis on a post that had a picture of Nazis marching in Wisconsin.
I got permabanned for inciting violence against places when I sarcastically told another commenter that their idea to pour concrete over new housing construction sites would surely solve the housing crisis.
Pick another social media to use in it’s place.
My app quit working, and I never downloaded the official one. Problem solved!
RIP RIF

This is the way. I miss my baconreader app, but haven’t looked back.
