Honestly I would rather let people come in naturally.
endless growth faster than what occurs naturally is cancer
Literally
Quality over quantity, too. We have more than enough repost meme subs that are JPEGed to hell to last us many lifetimes. I'd like more subs on like, lawnmower maintenance, indoor gardening, painting, car repairs, mountain biking, etc.
Agreed, I personally liked true off my chests, am I the asshole, etc. more conversation encouragement but tbh I don’t really see that going over we’ll just get here given how hard it is to have a convo without trolls popping up or people who’ve been brainwashed into using the same sort of logic.
Idk like I say, if we got something good going on, more people will naturally want to come and to stay. We’ve got plenty of lessons we can learn right now from the community in its current size. Why exacerbate the issue
