@gabek @tgpo And certainly don't think that scolding people with absolute user-base sizes will do it. As a Mastodon admin, I know that every new user costs me money. Where's the money to "beat Instagram/X/whatev" supposed to come from? Should we all plow our paychecks into it and impoverish our families? And why, so we can, vaguely, "win"?
Should us #Owncast devs handle 100x increase in user support so we can "win"? Where's that labor going to come from? 10/?
