Side note: OP did originally have the phrase "And that's good for lemmy" (or something very similar to that) in the title of this post, but they've since edited it. I don't know of a way of recovering what the original title said to be certain but it's worth knowing this, as that's a lot of the context behind this thread around why people (like myself) are decrying those that are saying it's a good thing.
Yeah, I saw it too. Seems like OP wanted to bait to read the post text and not just scroll away with dreadful thoughts.
I did edit it, because I was getting too much negativity on the "good thing" part of the title.
I did not even intended as bait, I meant it as "it's a good thing that the community will stop thinking that everything is fine and actually reflect about how to fix it". That was my first comment with the post, but it got buried into the rest of the reactions.
Later threads like https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/2243096 and https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/2241408 seem to show that some people are indeed becoming aware of the issues.
It seems the discussion moved to a doomy direction though. People kinda just read the title and then say that lemmy is basically dead and we should move back, etc.
Well, that's what I wanted to avoid by having a positive spin, but I got so much negative feedback that I changed it.
That's life, I guess

Good, I'm glad you're not actually trying to spin the whole thing
Glad to see you're glad!
Have a good one
You're not the only one who saw that. I saw it too. In fact, that's why I clicked the link.

oh in my feed I'm seeing this discussed a ton now. I didn't think you were baiting.
That's nice, have a good one!
