I know I’m ‘arguing’ a troll, and that the troll has been banned. Still, got to say something about this number chasing:

The population here is like a tiny slice of what it is on reddit, there’s no one here

In other words you can recognise individual posters here. And there’s a sense of belonging and community you won’t find in a faceless mob like Reddit. It’s comfy.

And yet people keep babbling about growth, growth, growth, as if it was the ultimate goal. Is it? A larger userbase has its pros and its cons.

(I also happen to remember Reddit before it was overgrown. Spoilers, it was a thousand times better.)
