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.

    Thank you for signing into your main account to reply to me.

    If your ideology is valid you shouldn’t have to make alts to force people to read your comments

      I don’t make alt accounts to force anyone to do anything. I’ve explained you that Hexbear is a safe space without transphobia of Zionism, and I’m glad it’s mostly defederated and I’m not exposed to cognitohazard of such levels.

      Again, I’m not @Cowbee_Admirer@reddthat.com. You can check @vovchik_ilich@hexbear.net’s account and see that he writes in a similar style that is distinct from mine. While flattering, I’d actually appreciate if comrade vovchik_ilich didn’t use my username as an alt-name, even if it isn’t the same, because I don’t like the idea of a cult of personality around me and because it can lead to confusion, like here.

      I have 3 accounts: @Cowbee@lemmy.ml, @Cowbee@hexbear.net, and @Cowbee@lemmygrad.ml. I used to have a lemm.ee account that I abandoned before making my Lemmy.ml account, made my Hexbear alt a long while after, and a Grad account very recently. I only use Lemmy.ml when interacting with any federated instance, and scroll Grad and Hexbear locally.

      All that being said, you have no evidence that I have multiple accounts, nor can you actually argue against the points being made. This is just conspiracy-theory nonsense.

          Thanks, comrade! No worries, it’s very flattering, but this won’t be the last time someone accuses you of being me making an alt.
