Edit: Why YSK: New users of Lemmy can find the number low and think that a community is dead or inactive, when infact it might be a thriving place with a lot of activity.

    Really bends the idea of a comment “having” so many likes or whatever.

    Reminds me of a talk Tom Scott gave once about being able to ban people in real life. He imagined an implant which distorted your perception and would just photoshop out someone in real time, you wouldn’t hear them, you wouldn’t see them, you would subconsciously step around them without noticing. Something entirely different could be taking place around you and you’d never know.
