I honestly like the small, eclectic vibe better.
I don’t know what the number is, but I’ll arbitrarily say, anywhere under a quarter million is perfect.
I know the federation model provides a strength against the cascading list negatives that plague popular platforms, but I don’t doubt that with a large enough user base, exploits would certainly seep in, particularly with ease of AI bot manipulation and astroturfing.
It reminds me of the Linux saying “security through obscurity”.

Reddit has so much more content and frankly 80% of their userbase seem to be ok.

It’s very difficult for a set of volunteers to combat people being paid to manipulate their platform, so I’m happy with this platform remaining small enough to not be worth spending money on to manipulate.

Except most posts are created by bots here too.
