@thompsonize @blogdiva @seitz @alisynthesis @kevin @flockofnazguls fwiw this ties directly into how stupid much of the discussion about mastodon relative to other platforms is. This is not a capitalist endeavor. It does not need to grow to survive or meet any other external criteria. All that matters is whether it benefits the people and communities on it. Analysis in the context of zero-sum "winning and losing" compared to Twitter or Threads assumes a profit imperative that simply doesn't exist
