So fyi, "Grow or Die" does mean "grow forever or die". That's what's the phrase was coined to mean and what it implies in every other context but yours. Worth keeping in mind.

Regarding everything else, you are very possessive about a platform that's not your's either, aren't you? I talk about how better participation from everyone would improve and grow the platform (quite the opposite of the "I like my little club EXACTLY the size it is now" you're trying to frame it as) and your response is "you don't run this shit"? It's surprising you want more people here when you can't seem to stand just one person disagreeing with you.

And comparing this all to Reddit, a site that's been around over 4x longer than Lemmy has existed, is just asinine. No, Lemmy isn't going to be at the same level as that. It probably won't be next year either. That doesn't mean it's dying.

I recommend patience and, again, focusing on bettering what we have now rather than obsessing over increase for the sake of increase, though considering your responses so far, it seems unlikely you'll take to that suggestion much. Good luck with that I guess.
