People are leaving lemmy because of the quality of the apps

They are used to using a terrible app that often breaks and spams you with notifications of random posts

Notifications should be banned by law.

Cant you just not allow notifications? They can be useful

In majority of cases they're abused to keep users engaged.

Nah, they're leaving because lemmy had become a Linux cult and if you're not a Linux cult member we then hearing about Linux all the time isn't a lot of fun.

I personally don't mind the Linux talk and am dipping my toes in the water myself actually, but that doesn't change the fact that the environment here has become a bit of a dorm room for old head Linux fans
