I get that people want Mastodon to grow because it's a really nice alternative to X.

But I want to probe some underlying assumptions: why is growth a good thing? Why do we all feel the need for 'reach'?

I'm not suggesting we should pull up any drawbridges, not at all.

Just interrogating some of the unquestioned assumptions about what constitutes as a positive in the context of Social Media.
