Like I said:

“Maybe these people are too terminally online to attend protests”

So I agree you can’t extrapolate the behavior of society as a whole from what happens on Lemmy, but you can use it to pinpoint outliers.

I was just using the .ml instance as one example to show that “democracy” isn’t as universally unifying as OP thinks.

Fwiw, Lemmy.ml self-reports only 2,407 MAUs (Monthly Active Users, which includes posts, comments, or even merely votes).

lemm.ee has >7.4k MAUs and thus >3x the amount on lemmy.ml, while Lemmy.World has 18,603 which makes it >7.7-fold larger.

Lemmy.ml is the #5 instance in terms of MAUs, behind also sh.itjust.works and lemmynsfw.com.

It’s a testament to how popular the Lemmy software is that our little Threadiverse or whatever we want to call it (I’ve also heard just “Verse”, “Forumverse”, etc.) has spread to include so many other instances, world-wide, beyond lemmy.ml.
