We would get more financial support for third party apps and more content.
Comment on Lemmy MAUs climbing back up! You love to see it.
Fungah@lemmy.world 10 months agoI don’t want a huge influx of users. Lemmy is good. I like Lemmy. A flood of people enshitify it.

Lemmy broadly is very group-think right now. There isn’t a large diversity of opinion yet; growth would be good - the real issue is when you have actually saturated a market, the only way to grow is through increasingly shitty things (see: reddit). Lemmy won’t have those same problems because the commercial model is so different (non-existent).

Agreed. The person you’re responding to thinks it’s good because most people are aligned with his/her opinions. It’s currently nothing more than a large echo chamber. A fresh injection of users will do Lemmy well for diversity of thought.

Your account is less than a day old. What do you know about it?
stevehobbes@lemy.lol 10 months ago
I have several accounts on different servers bud.

In my opinion, it’s not growth in users that’s the problem but in capital. The more the platform wants to earn, the shittier it gets. And since lemmy isn’t going to earn anything, it ain’t get shitty

There is no problem is having business offering hosting services, and if we want to have more users we will need professional support.
IOW, the problem is not with “capital” or “the profit motive”, but Corporativism.

Can you elaborate on the difference?

A farmer that is selling oranges, a brewer who is selling beer or an email provider like Tutanota are still looking for a profit and will only work for money. But they are all on a different league as the 5 “BigFood” who buys orange farms to sell orange juice to Walmart, or InBev who monopolizes the beer market, or Google/AWS who tries to ensure they are the only ones who can send email.

A nice slow growth pattern would be nice.
Sanyanov@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Best option IMO.
Would allow this beautiful place to grow, and at the same time newbies will have time to accomodate for Lemmy ethos and customs, forming a healthy and wonderful community.
