There are a lot of small websites on the Internet: Interesting websites, beautiful websites, unique websites. Unfortunately they are incredibly hard to find. You cannot find them on Google or Reddit, and while you can stumble onto them with my search engine, it is not in a very directed fashion. It is an unfortunate state of affairs. Even if you do not particularly care for becoming the next big thing, it’s still discouraging to put work into a website and get next to no traffic beyond the usual bots.

    My experience was that every sub reddit itself was an echo chamber.

    Not having the majority opinion of the subreddit meant getting negative scores because of downvoters, which lead to deleted posts because of that stupid karma system.

    But yeah, suggesting a permanent solution for both sides of the Israel-Palestine conflict on Lemmy by criticizing BOTH sides doesn’t get you sympathy points here eather.

      Even here, the guy you’re responding to is getting down voted to oblivion (for Lemmy anyways) for an opinion that I have echoed elsewhere and gotten the opposite response.

      Not having the majority opinion of this community seems to mean downvotes too. The only real difference is that reddit has enough staying power for people to put up with it.

        I’m on a Lemmy instance that has downvotes disabled. I can only see that the person I replied to has 3 upvotes and that me previous comment has 2. I don’t even see the negativity on Lemmy.
