Fair enough, thanks for explaining!

Cmon, no need to associate a popular gay dating app with republicans like it’s a bad thing. Enough to criticize the party for without bringing sexuality into it.

FWIW Lemmy has fully replaced Reddit as my go-to toilet reading material, and I’m sure there are many other lurkers around here who don’t post much and thus don’t show up in these stats. The more niche communities are still lacking in content, yes, but these things are best left to grow organically over a long period of time to maintain quality. It was the same on Reddit too before the enshittification escalated.
