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've seen the same arguments against liberals here used against Bernie Sanders on Instagram. "Why aren't you doing more about Palestine?", "Why'd you let this happen?", "why are you too powerless to influence policies?". I know some bots follow a script. The only difference here is the framing.

    And it worked. So many did not vote for Harris... (tbf the electoral system in the USA is fairly bork3n and complexicated, with the vast majority of votes not actually mattering, especially in blue states that would have voted for her regardless) and looking back, who can say if the campaigns had any effect? Though they did seem to try to have an effect, and that alone should mean... at least something to us? (in terms of actions taken, it seems to have not, but should it have?)
