    I don’t necessarily know if I agree with your take on “smaller” but it definitely would help stem the tide of enshitification. We could be that glowing bastion on the hill that always pops up in zombie flicks.

      Most social networks have this “growth at all costs” mentality that is usually the root cause of enshittification. When I say ‘smaller’, I mean it more in terms of fostering a healthy community of dedicated contributors rather than trying to make the fediverse grow as much as possible as fast as possible. This is why I mostly support the notion of preemptively defederating from Threads. While it would help the fediverse ‘grow’, that’s not necessarily what I want out of it. I don’t want us to win, I want us to be good.
