No, having an account won't give you insight, but what I'm getting at is that most of us are here to get away from the glaring flaws of corporate social media. Obviously I want as many people as possible to join the Fediverse, and I don't see how advocating for or at the very least normalizing more the exact kind of corporate-controlled platforms that drove most of us here is going to help that.
Personally, when it comes to Lemmy's user numbers, I'm more concerned about the condescending tone that keeps getting worse and worse on here than I am about people posting memes about the broader social media landscape. But we don't have to agree on which of these is more or less helpful.
