How does the community feel about inviting content creators? (ani.social)

I have been jamming to a djent musician for the past couple of months, and they have gone from about 10k subs to 40k on YouTube.

I think it would be nice to have content creators posting here, but I'm concerned about people complaining about YouTube and other platforms. Also, after the way Alex from Technology Connections was treated, I'd hate to see us get shitty reputation.

So, again, I ask before inviting them. What do you feel about inviting content creators? Is is invading your space? Do you welcome people just trying to make it? Would you rather keep them separate?

I dunno, Lemmy is a pretty uninviting place generally, and incredibly user unfriendly. Just navigating the UI can be a challenge, let alone navigating the minefield of other users looking for a reason to have internet beef.

Its up to you, really, but I think it has a greater chance of backfiring than if growth occurs naturally without content creator influence.

Thanks. I feel the same way sometimes, and it helps to see someone else write that. Being able to interact with that helped me solidify my thoughts.

This place is hostile because people are fighting over influence. We need to make this the place we want it to be, and not just hope that the mods are kind.

I think I'll get started on my projects here and work it out for the best
