A: let's make mastodon bigger than twitter

B: let's make mastodon much nicer than twitter instead and maybe realize that it doesn't need to have millions of users to be "successful"

@tcql frankly, i prefer it stay at a reasonable size that can be managed by human beings. the main mastodon instance is already too big which is one of many reasons why i moved to this smaller and slower one. also, bigger than twitter = more vulnerable to exploitation and greater risk, which would nullify the point of everyone leaving twitter in the first place

@TRONMAXIMUM definitely. mastodon.social was "too big" when i first joined, and that's when it was <50k users

and as much as the fediverse promotes uniqueness, the magic of mastodon is that right now it's small enough there are some generally~~ shared cultural values that are impossible to maintain reasonably if you're the size of twitter.
