Being underground is the best way to make sure that we can form and mature as a community.
Getting big too fast and being in focus too soon will nip our community in the bud.
Just like music. New trends trend to brew underground for years before they break out and take over from the current mainstream.
Though I would prefer that we remain under the radar. It's more fun that way.
Lemmy for me is a detox from a hyperactive hyperreal world that by making itself exclusively about ~~fun~~ entertainment, allows one to be picked up and taken with the wind.
