This is why I don't agree with the "lemmy is cozy, it doesn't need to grow" point of view. There's always specific, largely defederated instances that provide that cozy feeling, but I really want decentralized platforms to replace the corporate ones. If that's ever going to happen, the fediverse needs to grow.

I think it doesn't need to rapidly grow. The trickle of new users we get each time the main players fuck up is good enough for me.
