I've been one of the people saying "we don't need more users. we need quality over quantity" and i was wrong.

the way it's going, lemmy needs active users who post content sothat the network stays relevant. networks like the fediverse benefit from network effects and that means that if we have more users, that improves the value and quality of the fediverse overall.

So please, everyone, when you can, make advertisement for the fediverse in your personal area. Go talk to friends, make attractive stickers and put them everywhere, stuff like that. We would all benefit from it.

    I'm not talking about people I block (I am not exposed enough and don't suffer enough harassment so I don't block almost anyone)... I'm talking about about mods of the instancr that hosts people I care about suddenly blocking instance that hosts my account - not because anything we did but because they didn't like that mods of my instance didn't block another instance that has some weird (e.g. transfobic) content. I follow a friend and suddenly we are out of contact because some entirely unrelated drama. And that's how fediverse works by design.

    Ah yes, cancel culture. The Left always eats its own (and btw the Right does the same, eventually, but usually waits to win against the Left first).

    Edit: moral purity beatings will continue until morale improves.
