I'm fine with that personally. I'd much rather have a small social network containing people who are like me (at least in some respects) than a huge one filled with people I hate and garbage AI content.

Lemmy (heck, even reddit) is great example of why your and their goals arent mutually exclusive. If lemmy blows up, some places will stay small, some places will look like it does on bigger social media sites. I prefer slow and steady growth but an explosion of growth isnt the worst thing.

Do you "hate" your family? Your neighbors? Co-workers? Normies?

No but I don't care about seeing them on social media. I don't desire that at all, if I am gonna keep in touch with someone it will be in person or through direct messages.

You don't need to see them just because the same network as you. But they need to be here if we want corporate social media to die.

Not necessarily, but Facebook certainly makes it easy to 😉 more importantly I'm not at all interested in being connected via social media with any of those people, aside I suppose from "normies" because that could really be anyone, but I'm not that bothered.
