I see a lot of jabronis hanging around Lemmy. Sometimes I wish they’d just go away, but I wonder if the ecosystem actually needs them.

I’m not sure how you’re using the term here, since I know two definitions for it:
A) streetcorner loiterer
2] slang for testicles
Eiither are you talking about lurkers, or trolls, or shitposters, or what?
Lurkers may or may not be necessary. I’m not one, I couldn’t say.
Trolls are not necessary, and in fact harmful to discourse.
Shitposters are very necessary, they are the leaven to discussion that makes it fluffy and digestible.
I clarified in another comment (or at least tried to 😅).
I’m not familiar with those definitions for jabroni, but troll would be the closest of the options you mention but maybe more of a troll/shitposter hybrid…
