we need more users
(discuss.tchncs.de)
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 really admire this, and wish I was more like this. I had conservative parents and grew up in a conservative echo chamber. I got their opinions shoved down my throat my entire life. I have exactly 0 patience for conservative most view points. Especially when there it conflicts with scientific evidence and/or common decency. I tend to shut down conversations (online and in real life) with people that disagree with me.
Reality is it just hurts me to see their opinions being the dominant/default position in society. Makes our society feel unforgiving.
But I'm trying to change. I'm meditating, and journaling on this.
