I think it would be a good idea, especially if it’s configurable. Currently, threads on most posts tend to be fairly small, and combining them could help lead to more lively discussions.

lmao maybe he’ll merge it with X

Mine’s a variation on Yog-Sothoth from the Cthulhu Mythos.

Not a bad idea really, I guess this way you can get the functionality right away. Merging it in, or adding similar functionality as an option in the official UI would be nice going forward.

I doubt it there’s anything more to it, just drank too much lib koolaid.

libs are the same everywhere

I agree in general, federated nature of Lemmy does mean that people can always have their own smaller communities with their own rules. More people moving away from corporate platforms is generally a good thing as well in my opinion. This is ultimately the way the internet was envisioned to work where we have a bunch of servers run by regular people as opposed to being centralized around a handful of corporate platforms.

My main point was that slower steady growth can help people adjust to the better aspects of the fediverse, and there is no rush to grow.

There is no value in growth for the sake of growth. Lemmy isn’t a commercial platform that needs to keep getting VC money to stay afloat. Only thing that actually matters is sustainability.

Sustainability comes from having enough people to do development, people willing to host servers, and users to create content. All these things are already present and Lemmy can go on indefinitely without any major growth.

In fact, rapid growth can be a net negative because it brings a lot of toxic behaviors from Reddit. When there’s a slow trickle of users coming in then they adjust to existing norms. When there’s a horde of new users they become the norm and overwhelm the existing community.

This is one of the big advantages of using open platforms that operate over a common protocol. Commercial companies are engaged in a zero sum game fighting for users, so they want to create silos for their content. On the other hand, Fediverse is a positive sum game where all the platforms benefit from users being able to see content from other platforms.

Same logic as saying that Black people use the n word colloquially and therefore it’s fine to use it as a slur.

My original point was not misleading, and I provided lots of sources to support it in my follow up comment. You continue to ignore them and to make false statements.

you and your original point that links to this only source that I used within this discourse:

My original link was to show that even state department lawyers in the country pushing the genocide narrative aren’t willing to call it such. Then I provided many more links that contradict the things you’ve quoted that you conveniently ignore here. Stop trolling.

My sources don’t say what you seem to think they say. Be specific regarding what it is you think my source says that supports your point. It’s pretty hilarious that once confronted with your nonsense you’re screeching about gaslighting.

You’re literally peddling US state propaganda in this thread.

No, you literally didn’t address any of my points. I explained that the source for your claims is not credible. I provided the context of what’s terrorism in Xinjiang and US involvement. I’ve also provided an independent report from Italy stating that US claims are politically motivated. You addressed none of that, and then shifted your argument. You are a troll.

Dronie refers to the fact that anarchist positions are always aligned with US foreign policy. It’s exact same rationale as the tankie slur you love so much. Meanwhile, anarkiddie refers to the fact that full grown adults hold infantile views of the world.

Since you’re clearly ideologically opposed to Marxist-Leninist views, why are you here?

Would you prefer we refer to you as dronie or anarkiddie?
