EDIT: we just crossed 30K 🥳
We are now at 28.5K users (see https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list). The top 10 instances also got a decent boost in user count. With the exception of beehaw.org which defederated, the Fediverse is thriving 🔥

Same thing for me. I have my own biases, but I kinda expect to be exposed to things I don’t agree sometimes: knowledge is good and trying to understand other viewpoints is useful (even if to know how someone could get something so wrong).
lemmy.world provides me that, I can engage with content I clearly enjoy, and debate (in a civil way) about things I disagree. And if something is really egregious I can block it myself.
