Could you even tell?

After all, we are in the era of advanced LLMs.

I’m all for improving the user experience here on Lemmy.

But what I find not so appealing, is targeting mass adoption in a way that dumbs down the community we’re building here.

As long as we just make Lemmy a great place to be, the right kind of people will keep joining.

Meta knows exactly what to do to bring a billion new users to a new social media site, and all you have to do is look at Threads to see the kind of community they are cultivating.

Lemmy does not, and never will, have the moderation power to contend with that many bad actors. I’m perfectly fine with Lemmy having a tiny learning curve to keep out the dregs.

It would be nice to interact with my own family and friends

That’s a straight no from me.

We can already interact with our friends and family anywhere we choose, but Lemmy is one of the only general discussion areas left on the internet that isn’t full of the stupidest people on the planet.

Bringing our family here will just result in real identities taking over and limiting discussion to what’s acceptable in all our little social bubbles.

Motherland if I’m not mistaken.
