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

What can we do?

    Your #4 seems inaccurate, unless you were just walking us through your changing perspective as you joined.

    This place is very left leaning and I’m sure it’s loaded with people who happily call themselves socialists while shouting down the MLs/tankies.

    The main difference afaik is that they support authoritarians.

      Lemmy has little reactionary people, but your definitions on who is authoritarian or who or what is “good” or “evil” have been manufactured by the mainstream media.

      If you ever wonder on how to prevent foreign or capitalist interference into elections and mainstream social media, you will find yourself looking to China and Russia for inspiration.

      Instead Lemmy has cut off any dissent from the actual socialists, those who oppose the systems that created the conditions for the rise of neofascism. People can’t even imagine or tolerate other ways of managing power. Therefor Lemmy is a failure.

      Of course the Tankies or “dirtbag left” have their share of blame for that too
