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 know @Cowbee@lemmy.ml doesn't argue in good faith. You're not arguing in good faith either. If you wanna internet argument fight the dude, I just pinged him for you, but before you do I suggest both of you consider the words of mustache man: "Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not himself become a monster."
Honestly I don't think there's such a thing as good faith when it comes to political discussions on the internet. I'm not going to argue with him either, I don't consider it worthy of my time.
What's good faith to you? To me, it's admitting mistakes.
To me, good faith is the genuine will to understand and/or convey ideas fairly and honestly.
I agree, but I don't think fairness or honesty really exists anymore. Or rather, there's no incentive for people to engage in such.
There is no tangible external incentive.
I'd say be the change you want to see, but it seems pointless. Maybe once trump and putin carks it
Doing what you believe is right is never pointless imo.
