Reply to comment by fletch44 in Twitter Rival Mastodon's Founder Has a Vision for Democratizing Social Media by Doener23

If you're looking to grow a social platform, looking at people who don't want to think about selecting a server as unintelligent would be a horrible way to go about it.

Growth = death of quality for social media. Happens to everything. Every subreddit that gets big gets shit unless it is heavily moderated.

Most people are just stupid and annoying. Sorry but that's the truth, and if you worked with the general public you would agree.

I believe Churchill had something to say about the best argument against democracy being a 5 minute conversation with a typical voter.

Social networks need users in order to be useful. We can disagree what that number is, and I agree that there's a point at which additional users don't add benefit. I don't think Mastadon is at that point, but obviously ymmv.
