Loads of people are bad for stuff that's very popular. But they also allow niche communities to build up. The later is what I miss about the Fediverse.
Yeah I thought about that, and I think I just still prefer there being less people overall, even if we lose nice communities. There's probably a way to have the best of both worlds though
I don't see how. Stuff which interests a very small percentage of people obviously results in a lot less people interested in it on a much smaller platform. You would need to specifically target and convince people of such niche interests to come on over. That doesn't seem likely.
I still prefer it sorry I guess for doing so? What do you want me to say?
Why do you think I want you to not say this? That's of course absolutely fine if you prefer a smaller community with all it's pros and cons.
I just don't know any way how your last sentence could come true with what we know about social media.
