Ah yes, the two sides of existence where there’s zero middle ground:
Being someone who follows nothing because I don’t care enough to follow stuff
or
Duct-taping my eyes to the screen as I scroll through every single thing on the internet about every minute little detail that happens in politics to the point where it’s my entire identity.
Clearly no middle ground possible here, no-siree, but let’s just pretend that Lemmy doesn’t have a problem with user growth because people get turned away because it’s 90% political content on the major feeds and nothing else.
The beauty of the fediverse is that no one platform should become omnipresent but that interconnection between platforms is possible. It’s a user-directed service. If Lemmy isn’t meeting your personal standards then there are other options.
Yes, Lemmy is quite political. If that doesn’t tickle your fancy, you’re more than welcome to try a different service. Lemmy’s purpose is not to become the next Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok in size - it’s to provide an alternative to them. Growth for growth’s sake isn’t usually a great idea.
