Lemmy is popular nowadays, yet is losing its active users

I feel like that is more or less to be expected. A ton of people found Lemmy during the reddit protests. Now that the protests are gone and Lemmy has had its growing pains some users are leaving, going back to reddit or other places. If we keep using it and making content users will grow organically.

Lemmy is having an identity crisis of sorts. It was built to be decentralized yet we (users) seem to want to centralize everything and we all go to a few of the largest instances.

Louisiana governor issues disaster declaration for crawfish shortage | CNN

I live in LA and this seems wild. Isn't the free market supposed to handle this? If you didn't save enough money to handle a year of low crick bugs then shouldn't you fail and daddy capitalism will let someone else take its place?

/s of course.

This is why UBI might be a good idea, at least the workers and even C levels could still pay rent and not have to give unchecked funds to industry.

It is truly staggering the extent of the destruction we caused on the natives to this land.

Wiki says 96% of them were killed. That's something like 3.6 million humans were slaughtered.

And most all of their land taken.

It's an injustice in this country that we don't learn about it more and try to atone as best we can.
