   And if the fedi ever does get over this bump how loud will the cries of "there goes the neighborhood" be here?

   If we are truly classy they will not be loud at all, but frankly I don't have a lot of confidence.

   At least such an expansion won't come from pure greed to run up the numbers.

   But then maybe it won't come at all. If most people don't *want* this to be a place for everyone it won't ever be a place for everyone.

     I have the same feelings about the Free Software cultures I hang out it. As one of the few working class, not university educated programmers it's very clear that there is a pre-thought consensus about simple things like labour, and getting people to do work. A contribution that is easy for a well heeled college grad is a cruel request on a single parent living day to day.

     Yet we need diversity, the lack of it eats at our creativity.

     @futurebird Thanks a lot for taking the time for such a thorough explanation!

     My hopes for when(ever) the Fedi gets over the diversity bump aren’t terribly high. We had a storm of “there goes the neighborhood” greeting each big migration from Twitter.
