No you don’t understand. Everyone is very special and should be catered to at all times, regardless of how others around them may or may not feel.
What are you, some kind of bigot?

I’d much rather see more discussion under the various posts then just an endless stream of what looks like just random links, mostly political, either supporting some democrat or trying to explain why some Republican is evil.
But also, when everyone agrees there isn’t really much to talk about, and if you disagree you wake up to an inbox full of the stupidest comments imaginable and a post with more downvotes that the original post even got upvotes for lol
If conversation is the goal, lemmy users who dominate the community right now don’t know how to have it
I agree, it’s all about participation.
The problem with that (from my own experience at least), is that this platform is even more politically homogenous than even reddit or Twitter ever were.
If participation is the goal, you’re (as a community), going to have to be a little more accepting of people who don’t think exactly like you do. (Not you specifically, I mean you in the community sense of the word).
This is a similar problem something like truth social will have as well, catering to only one extreme political view (truth social - far right and lemmy far-left) isn’t a recipe for growing participation.
Now, if lemmy users were more of an open minded community who were capable of nuanced conversation and tolerance without jumping immediately to the most extreme reaction imaginable this would be able to grow.
No one really wants to hang out with a bunch of teenaged extremists. Unfortunately, that’s kind of what lemmy is
Or just work a part time gig at McDonald’s for a couple 5 hour shifts a week to supplement your career job.
Makes it pretty appealing to think about flipping some burgers for $20 an hour, $100 a day 2-3 days a week.
Could be an extra $1,000 a month or so for people looking for something to supplement their income.
Did she punch her in the nose?
This is a 10/10 movie
