Having more users isn’t going to help if the core developers are anti-diversity.
Funny comment I saw on that thread. What does this person think diversity means??
Diversity is me being allowed to say the n word.

diversity is when you’re tolerant of fascism, duh! /s
The people who are the most vocal about being oppressed by the slur filter are anglos who are actually the ones whom the filter is designed to inconvenience the least. Look at what this guy has to say for example:
Taking a position is fine. But, imagine a self driving car which wouldn’t let you drive home to C*ntsington, MA (an example)?
First of all, a link aggregation platform is not a self-driving car (also cars are a failed experiment, public transport is the way). How often do these people have to type things like Sc*nthorpe or C*ntsington? This is the first time in my life I have had to walk around the slur filter landmine and I have been using Lemmy for a long time now.
