So, uh… explain to me why we can’t just use invite codes without having the servers closed off? Like yeah, sure, that does make the invite technically redundant, but psychologically it’s still there while retaining openness.

This is a big thing killing my interaction with Lemmy as well. I want to like it, but I drop into a discussion thread and the top-engaged/boosted comments are spicy and almost designed to promote maximum anger. And I feel like, “Do I really, really want to spend significant time writing out a deeper comment to engage with this community…?”

Especially the politics on here. I’ve seen some wild takes going completely unquestioned.

Thanks for the shoutout! It’s going to be a slow climb up, but I’m looking forwards to growing this place as well.
