      Same here. If people don’t like it, fuckem 🤷‍♂️. I’ll find it all the funnier because of it.

        Yeah, but at the end of the day we either want Lemmy to grow, or we don’t. And if we make it difficult or awkward for people to use Lemmy, then we’re shooting ourselves in the foot if our goal is to grow Lemmy’s user base.
