@thomasfuchs hard disagree, on like... every possible angle here.
why do we need "more normal people"? what does that even mean? who the fuck even wants to be "normal"?
why does the fediverse corporate sponsorship in the first place, let alone from a company known for its invasiveness?
why would we chase a growth rate that outstrips the natural increase in organisational maturity and moderation ability of the people running instances?
