  Looks cool but very small user base. I suppose I should be the change I'm asking for and participate. Edit: "We are never going to remove the slur filter completely (or add an option to that effect), because we dont want to make it easy for right-wingers to use Lemmy." (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/816 https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/816) I'm hardly right wing, but if the developers seek to suppress and remove anything they consider to be right wing, this is a hard pass from me. I am interested in discussion from a wide range of people with diverse opinions. I'm tired of echo chambers.

    It's a federated platform so it doesn't even need a "big" user base, just good interop across sites.

      I think the platform is great but there isn't much value to me as a user if few people are discussing interesting things.

    The devs do not suppress or remove anything. They just will not accept PRs for things that they don't want to change as most free software projects do, e.g. sway won't accept PRs for nvidia-eglstreams. There are forks and instances that omit or adapt the slur filter. Maybe they will become the canonical lemmy fork in the future, maybe they won't, that's up to the contributors.
