I don't want what comes with loads of people. It's nice
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.
