Agreed, regarding the need for engagement and comments and not just posts. I run several communities and conversation/engagement seems to be the route to eventually making the communities semi-independent (of me posting with careful regulatory).
This is with regards to your second quote. It’s worth considering that for many people hexbear and lemmigrad are rather disgusting places. People living in the west who are supporting genocidal Russian imperialism or the CCP? Why would one want to deal with this?
I also disagree that supporters of Russian genocidal imperialism and western-based CCP fans have any kind of positive impact on Lemmy’s growth trajectory. If anything they hinder Lemmy’s growth.
In the same vein as this one of the worst experiences I had on Reddit was random communities that I had never interacted with dm’ing me I was banned after posting to a completely different community.
Imagine if instead the coward that set up that bot would dm you directly “I’ll never interact with you because you posted to X”. How unhinged that would sound.
Being a mod in a community should never be allowed to be used for bullying strangers. Specially ones that have never interacted with your community in the first place.
