I don’t think it is, maybe we are due for another growth spurt but from here on out I genuinely think a critical mass has been achieved where it will simply make more and more sense for people to come here.

Maybe for English and a handful of major European languages, but there’s no way I could recommend the Fediverse (at least the Threadverse; I don’t hang out on Mastodon) to an Arabic or Japanese speaker. In that area it’s still severely lacking.

Yeah fair enough.

That’s true, but it’s still up to them whether they want to get arrested over social media comments somebody else made.

Y’all should actually read the post. They’re clear that they don’t want to do this but fear extreme repression by the German government, and they even listed examples of what exactly they’re trying to avoid. I’m no Israel apologist, but I’m convinced.

You’re welcome to go take it up with the devs on Lemmy.ml.

Don’t forget to praise Stalin first.

More than that Japanese people have a completely different sense of humor from the stuff you usually see in the West. Even a fluent but non-native speaker will have a lot of their jokes fall flat simply because the Japanese and Western conceptions of a joke are very different. In what way? I have no idea, still trying to figure it out. I don’t know if that gap is that big in other cultures, but definitely best to just not.

Okay where do you even see Japanese posts?

Wow, Africa’s Fediverse game is weak.

Religious people? Those people are idiots.

Okay for what it’s worth as a Muslim I’ve found Lemmings to be a lot more civil about the religion thing than redditors. At least I feel that people here are less likely to think being atheist makes them smart.
