    Does Lemmy need to grow for some reason? Sometimes I swear I can feel the Reddit community toxicity seeping in and its really disappointing. Honestly, for me personally if Lemmy continued on exactly as it is today, I’d be perfectly content.

    That said, if there are benefits to growth beyond the wide scope of mass adoption fucking over the proprietary social medias I’m all ears.

      Well it’s not really just about making you happy, the project is about displacing corporate controlled media so that community projects and social movements can flourish allowing us up create a better world for all.

      I myself have very elitist and isolationist tendencies but I think it’s important to set them aside somewhat for the common good.
