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.
