Does anybody here still wish the Fediverse just had more people?

this is a very elitist approach camarad
It is not elitist to reject unfunny garbage from Reddit brains
So you think if something is bad enough it is ok to discriminate again. Meaning you place the bar of disparaging some contend at around average value , so not at high elite value.
That can hold. It still depend on your value judgement of the content in question. Someone could think that lemmy.ml contend is "unfunny garbage".
The point of a site like this one, is that not one person is the decider. Not you or me. Users vote what is or is not funny, so that the "avergagely" funny systematically go on top. The more people they are, the more the average will mirror the real world population... I think considering the average population to not be "worthy" is pretty elitist. There are a lot of problem in such a site: Hive mind, trolling, mass vote, bot usage.... But discriminating against normal human user (even the worse one) doesn't seems to me like a solution
Uh... I am the decider of what I identify as tired unfunny memes. Nothing wrong with that!
It's not really elitist, Lemmy was founded as an alternative to Reddit, but Lemmy.world is a repitition of it, not to mention the anti-Marxist pro-zionist moderators. It's understandable that people leaving Reddit don't want the same thing as Reddit.
Hum I doubt even the majority of mod are "anti marxist" or "pro zionist".. may be you're looking at the more active communities, with few mod over them.. But for what I read I never had that impression
Here are a few examples of the mods denouncing Socialism and Marxism, and they perma-banned me from political memes for going against the liberal narrative for "misinformation and posturing" despite leaving up the Zionist lie that the Palestinian genocide is a 1000 year conflict. This is also when one of the moderators claimed they weren't censoring anyone and were incredibly fair on a comment chain calling out their censorship, and refused to elaborate. They would not even tell me how I could edit my comments to comply with their rules.
They defederated from Hexbear "as a last resort-" before ever federating with Hexbear.
In the Lemmygrad defederation thread, there's unsupported claims of hate speech and calls to violence, which we have to fill in the blanks - the mods are anti-Marxist and anti-revolution, so any Marxist instance is going to fail that test.
The Hexbear defederation thread is somehow worse when they list why instead of leaving it to the imagination. Read some of the top comments, it's clear that it was anti-Socialist in motive. Real spooky scary zingers listed as evidence in the post like “The West’s role in the world, through organizations such as NATO, the IMF, and the World Bank - among many others - are deeply harmful to the billions of people living both inside and outside of their imperial core.” This statement is 100% obvious to anyone not stanning the US Empire.
Another example listed is “These organizations constitute the modern imperial order, with the United States at its heart - we are not fooled by the term “rules-based international order.” It is in the Left’s interest for these organizations to be demolished. When and how this will occur, and what precisely comes after, is the cause of great debate and discussion on this site, but it is necessary for a better world.” Yet again, they are defederated for being Marxists, and therefore being revolutionary. This is just because they are authentically Marxist, not because posters were mean.
The mods of Lemmy.world are Liberals. Not just any liberals, but "true believers." Marxism is dangerous to them and so they shut it out, they spelled it out plainly.
Even your leftist meme in Political Memes is getting you called a "tankie."
