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 don’t mind that the fediverse is an echo chamber. I’m in no way interessted in having conversations with fascists.
Your response is an example of what frustrates me with Lemmy. Anyone with a different opinion must be a fascist. No nuance. Just instantly labelling people. No wonder the numbers are dropping and not attracting new users.
Guess what? We can have people who aren’t far left who aren’t fascists. I’d rather see healthy discussions and debates than everyone patting each other on the back for saying “DAE capitalism bad”.
I’m not saying people either agree with me or they’re fascist. I’m saying I am completely fine with it being an echo chamber, if it means the fascists don’t get to speak. I’m not calling everyone slightly to the right of me fascist, I’m completely fine with them. I’m saying actual fascists shouldn’t get to have a voice, and I am very happy that they rarely get one here.
