Would allow this beautiful place to grow and fill up with wonderful people and content, and at the same time newbies will have time to accomodate for Lemmy ethos and customs, forming a healthy and wonderful community.
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
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.
I don’t want a huge influx of users. Lemmy is good. I like Lemmy. A flood of people enshitify it.
A nice slow growth pattern would be nice.
Best option IMO.

We would get more financial support for third party apps and more content.

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.
