Shoutout to our hard-working maintainers, first of all.

Wanted to open a space for the community to discuss this aspect of marketing/identity.

What does getting bigger actually accomplish? I've been through enough Eternal Summers to know it sucks to lose a place you like to the swarm of terminally online bootlickers who infest every place that actually has people they can rule over. I'm good

There are a lot of interests I have which do not have enough users in communities here to make sharing things worthwhile, personally. Why waste time sharing art or music or other original content in places where it gets little engagement?

There's a reason the front page is primarily covered in memes, news, technology news, and politics, and that's because those require little barrier of entry to participate in for those tech savvy enough to already be here.

I wouldn't mind 100k monthly active users. Millions probably not, but a bit more activity would be nice to cover a few more niche topics
