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 don’t “lick authoritarian boot” for supporting existing socialism, and the person you’re replying to isn’t me.

      Is the “socialism” in the room with us right now?

      I think you might have a different understanding of socialism than modern socialists. Yours seems more like a 1950s flavor of “socialism”

        I have the same understanding of socialism as Marx, Engels, Lenin, and those who uphold them today. Cuba, Vietnam, the PRC, etc are all examples of socialism. Socialism is, at its simplest, public ownership as the principle aspect of the economy and the working classes in control of the state.

        Who are these “modern socialists?” Do you have a country you can point to, or perhaps an organization? Why are these “modern” socialists as compared to what I uphold?
