Shoutout to our hard-working maintainers, first of all.

Wanted to open a space for the community to discuss this aspect of marketing/identity.

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.

this is just my opinion but taking away personality to appeal to a wider audience is one of the worst things modern megacorps do, the strength of the fediverse is the power it gives to individuals and communities over corporations with money, and so personality is one of the things the fediverse needs to maintain to succeed
