No, if there’s too hard of a push to get users then lemmy earns itself a bigger gun behind the crosshairs that are already aimed it (by platforms like Reddit).
If we have any hope of growing Lemmy into what it can eventually be, we need the growth to be gradual. As painstaking and aggravating as that might be.
I think it’s perfectly reasonable to be horrified at things like OSHA going away with the current state of the U.S. federal govt.
I don’t think that’s how physics
I can use the mugs for plants and… idk, troll someone with the fork. Wtf am I gonna do with that champagne glass?

You can certainly make an argument for young kids, i.e. teaching fractions and literally how to count (counting seconds).

I was literally just talking about how much I distrust Mr. Beast and was shut down by my friends because “he make da funny bideos”. I’m basking in the vindication, silver linings and all that.
A strawman that may actually be true, given how much poison the rich have dumped into our environment.

Do you stick your hands down your shorts to prevent the water pulling them against your skin?
I eventually quit shooters after maintaining a competitive streak for several years.
The hardest thing to explain to the people who care about me is why that 10% of the good shit is worth 90% of all the dogshit. Eventually I realized “Shit, they’re right - why did I ever stop playing LoZ?”
