      Yeah, let the project serve a few thousand then die off entirely well before 2030. That’s what this should be.

      Let’s barely be a blip on the radar and make no difference at all to how the future of Internet fora goes.

      Let’s do to the fediverse idea what some families do to a discounted grill, use it a few times a year then throw it in a dumpster when it gets rusty.

        I rather it grow organically than go viral.

            There is a price for going mainstream, and I agree that I don’t think I want to pay it. R*ddit was also once niche…

              Yep, that’s right. That’s what I mean.

              We’re doing nothing with this framework. It’s going nowhere. We’re not dethroning or replacing or reshaping shit.
              Lemmy will be done and dead before Trump’s term is, even if he follows the term limit and hands it off in 4 years.

                I don’t believe that. Lemmy continues to slowly grow. It’s not dieing at all.

                  We’ll just have to wait and see. But clearly people here don’t want to get even close to the numbers of the big sites.

                    I mean, why would we? Clearly that brings more bad than good things?
