      I always feel like people living simply minimize their time online, so this kind of communities tend to be a bit quiet

        Many do limit online time but there is also 8 billions of us on this planet. So, no matter how strictly we limit our involvement, I think the community itself, not each individual member, should be a little more active at any given time. But like with many communities on Lemmy we lack more participants ;)

      Active communities, period.

      Reddit started out without subreddits. Eventually grew too big for that so split into topical channels. Then the channel would get too big and a niche would subdivide out. When Lemmy started, or more so when there was the first big exodus from Reddit, all of that was recreated, but without the users. So we have a ton of dead communities that really need to be rolled up and cleaned up.

    r/electricians mostly

    I’m an industrial electrician and I don’t know a single soul in my life outside of my career who I can shoot the shit about electrical systems. Sometimes I just want to nerd out about it, or discuss UL and NEC codes, or sometimes just removed about old crap from decades ago you have to work on haha

        And here, I thought maybe it was a joke about all the stuff people deleted during the API drama, or maybe a joke about all the stuff getting removed in recent times, but nope, just good old ml censorship.

    Video game specific communities. Like any random game that is even semi-popular has an active sub on Reddit. Even the most popular games in the entire world rn don’t have much activity, if they even have communities, on Lemmy.

    I would rather argue the motivations of a souls boss than politics or what the best linux distro is 😮‍💨.

          I feel like there’s probably about 50 different directions that one could take that idea, and the story very clearly paints that act as a Bad Thing™ to have done.

          But to play devil’s advocate (just because I have also been missing this type of discussion), one could argue that experiencing love would compromise Miquella’s plans for his planned age of compassion. An age of compassion would be one which treats everyone equally, to try to universally end worldly suffering.

          Love, on the other hand, is what allows one to play favorites, and is also something that cannot really be controlled. Having a stronger attachment towards some people over others because of love would result in discontent, and sabotage the type of egalitarian compassion Miquella wanted to create.

          Marika’s reign became rocky because there were conflicts between those she favored and those she shunned. She absolutely played favorites, and did not love everyone equally. Her solution to break the cycle of suffering was to simply remove death from the world entirely, but as we saw, that just ended up making its own whole host of problems.

          So I think Miquella was trying to avoid making that same mistake of favoritism we saw under Marika, but ended up making another mistake which could have been just as potentially consequential as his mother’s decision to shatter the rune of death. A dispassionate “compassion” wouldn’t really be compassion at all.
