I've submitted this link because the topic is interesting to me, and !functional_programming@programming.dev is practically dead, with the last post dating back over 10 days.

For those who are down voting the contribution, be my guest and do better: submit interesting content.

Lemmy has a few perpetually online perpetual assholes that down vote anything they see - give a post a few hours and you'll see the reasonable people show up.

Honestly, I don't mind the downvotes. What puzzles me is how some people feel strongly enough about a topic to subscribe to a community, but still feel compelled to slap down contributions in a time nothing is being submitted, as if seeing no new posts is better than seeing a post that might not tickle their fancy.

It's the difference between building up and tearing down.

FWIW due to Lemmy’s size, I think it’s actually more common to scroll Local or All rather than Subscriptions, so you’re probably getting votes from lots of random people rather than subscribers to this community specifically.
