I hope this isn't part of a larger trend of human labor being devalued because companies pretend it's just machine labor. I hope that's literally impossible.

The small scale of Lemmy's active user base is never more evident than in the absence of active members in all the sports related communities. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

To be honest, I was thinking about ones where people uploaded short stories to the platform. I guess if you want a community focused on the act of writing, you have !writing@slrpnk.net and !furrywriting@pawb.social, which are about discussions about writing generally and writing furry stories respectively, and there are probably others that I'm too lazy to find.

Anyways, I am not the best person to find writing communities in general. For example, I literally found this post today, which lists a bunch of communities for short stories. I'm going to list them in order of most to least active, as well as adding my own findings (of communities of short stories where fiction could be appreciated).

So there are some.

Overall, it seems like I probably should have remembered literature.cafe as a whole existed when I made the first post. It also has a community for writing prompts.

I feel like most of the writing communities are also pretty inactive. I'm not sure why. I liked reading short stories on Reddit, and I don't like looking at memes. I'm not sure whether it's a good thing (because I don't use Lemmy as often that way) or a bad thing.

I guess I could spam them with public-domain stories or reposts or something, but I feel like that's just losing the plot.

self-reported rates of cheating remain at a constant 25-35% of the student body over large periods of time.

I've tried for hours, but I can't figure out where you got these numbers. I can mostly find sources implying that far more people admit to engaging in cheating, not to mention sources which imply more people engage in cheating than those who admit to it, and sources that imply that the figures for cheating vary based on many factors even within places of learning, and vary based on what kind of cheating you're talking about. Perhaps I'm just in a filter bubble. Can you tell me where you got these numbers?
