Lemmy is losing so many potential new users because the UX sucks for the vast majority of people.

What can we do?

    So you, a normal person, join and instantly when a meme or comment allude to being altruistic, you leave? It’s so unfathomable to me how this is probably true. So many people need the world to be egomaniac or they get uncomfortable. Maybe they’re the problem though

      Lol, the lack of self-awareness in your comment is astounding. You immediately jumped to interpreting them in the least charitable way possible, instead of just asking them to clarify like a normal person. You are exactly the type of leftist that pushes a lot of people away from using Lemmy.

      Who needs conservative saboteurs when you have leftists to do their work for them?

        Nah, I was talking about their ficticious person in their example scenario.

        Since they are obviously here I thought that was obvious.

        But I can see you are very self aware yourself and not at all bothered by why altruism scares you

      To be entirely honest if anybody like that comes here and bounces off that’s great.

        But that’s not great. It’s great if you’re not interested in a social networking forum and want a meme feed sure but I don’t. I want people, I want the damaged ego people and I want to ask and talk to them about how they ended up like that

          I get you.

          But honestly come I’m kind of liking the vibe here and it’s not just a meme feed. More often than not you can have a real conversation with somebody you disagree with, you concied, they concied, learn a little bit about each other, follow a couple people maybe block a few assholes.

          The first few redis exoduses filled the place with the people with the lowest tolerance for bullshit. Every time Reddit has a new Exodus, We get topped off with the next level of people that just want to watch everyone be pissed off.

            I agree. I think it’s some kind of effect that also has me not wanting to live in a big city. When you see new people every day then never again, it’s like you eventually lose some humanity
