      I think this post is the most important thing that all these “Why would you block Meta?! They’re a huge source of potential growth!!” people don’t understand – who cares about growth? This “growth and user counts are the only metric that matter” mindset is exactly why we all fucking loathe Facebook/Meta/etc. That exact attitude is what makes them so despicable.

        Yeah, to Meta growth=money. Fediverse (generally speaking) isn’t after money… we want community. Healthy growth is fine - meta’s mutant hormone growth isn’t what we want.
