Does Truth Social have threads about wanting more people to join Truth Social? Because this is a thread about advertising for lemmy.
Yes. Brainstorming how to “redpill” people is one of the far-rights favourite past times, right up there with using slurs and obsessing about strangers having the correct opinons about their own genitals.
Did you very carefully dodge using the word “discussion” in your reply? Because this is a thread discussing the growth of Lemmy but it looks like we were supposed to just grovel at the feet of your opinion.
Hexbear exists and you can join it.
Have you forgotten which one of us was having a big teary about not feeling welcome because this thread right here was too left wing? I’m fine where I am thanks.
Growth. The thing this thread is about.
Yep. Growth and growth only. The user count goes up by one and we can pretend “bigger number means better” like we’re sad little middle managers.
My contribution to this discussion is making it clear just how little genuine value there is caving to your slimy little guilt trip.

Cool then yes, if I could tolerate those people as much as I tolerate leftists, and thus hang out with them, I would make these same posts. I struggle to do that because when they speak I want to put a hammer through my skull.

You still seem to think this is about me, and it is not.

It literally does. I support the fediverse and thus want it to grow. If you need a place just for you, you can find one that aligns with you or create your own.
You still seem to think this is about me, and it is not.
The longest paragraph in your comment literally starts with “I, personally”.
Scattered around that are your opinions about why Lemmy isn’t bigger, that you’re insisting this thread was created to solicit.
But the moment someone does the same thing, in the same thread, but disagreeing with you about the reasons? “This thread isn’t about that”.
We can play the game if you want though. Was reddits growth – literally the measuring stick in the discussion – thanks to it peppering the centre right with gentle kisses every time they blessed the site with a visit?
Nope. It was about as left-wing as Lemmy and if you said something that was demonstrably bullshit, 8 different people would tell you to fuck off.
The reality is that it became a centralised location for memes and pornography.
Whatever “growth” it saw by giving brave little conservatives a place to call their own had to be repeatedly undone because they just couldn’t stop using slurs, brigading threads and advocating terrorism.
So they moved to Voat instead, instantly turning it into a cesspit of mask off neonazim and “not technically child pornography but we’re going to use it as child pornography anyway”.
How did that “growth” work out for them? Oh right, terminally.
It literally does. I support the fediverse and thus want it to grow. If you need a place just for you, you can find one that aligns with you or create your own.
Yet your solution wasn’t “someone should make a center-right server that is more tolerant to our completely reasonable views and harmless slurs”, it was “all these perverts and nerds should be nicer to us”.
You know, that exact thing I mentioned. You’ve just made it clearer that your take genuinely is “this platform is overrun by leftists who need to be nicer to us poor oppressed conservatives and if they’re don’t like it, they can create their own space just for themselves”.
I assume the next step is that you join that new instance, complain it’s full of leftists and insist they go somewhere else.

Early reddit was not left wing. It was techbro-libertarian. The famous Ron Paul “It’s Happening” gif comes from reddit lol.
I’d love for this place to be as openly welcoming as early reddit.
I understand you don’t like when normal people come into the frontiers, but that just means you’ll constantly need to find new frontiers.
Such is life for people who move to the frontier to be alone. You’re not unique, and this has happened throughout all of human history, and it’ll happen to the fediverse too.
Actually, who cares what you know? You’re dull as fuck. You opened with a generic “the bad people called me a nazi” conservative whine and your single trick since then has been sticking stereotypes on people.
I’m not going to read your reply, but I’ll just assume it has the word “hexbear” on it.

Don’t worry you can start your own server, just like everyone else who disagrees with you is supposed to.
Nah, we can just keep calling them Nazis. That’s your entire explanation for why those “normal people” aren’t here remember?
Yeah it’s pretty clear that your faux-wisdom is nothing more than a premise to label people as undesirables.
I’m already on our server, Comrade.
You’re the one unhappy with new people
And you’re the one unhappy with the people who were already there and think they should leave. You’ve reiterated those points multiple times.
What are your plans for the weekend? Turning up to a party you weren’t invited to and telling the hosts if they don’t like it, they can leave?
I don’t think everyone here should leave. I think you, personally, would enjoy Hexbear more.
I don’t know why you don’t want to be happy.
You do know what federation means right?
