What the title says. I think there is still a long way for that to happen but i’ve been hopeful. What do you think?

    But that was obviously based on nothing factual. If Reddit could grow to that size without turning a profit (and by exploiting free moderation for its labor), why wouldn’t any fediverse site be able to do the same? The truth is that the the content is what drives growth. If the fediverse has the content, people will go to it.

      Because the fediverse is made up of instances instead of being a monolithic company. It grows as a whole, not as some specific instances.

      And besides that, good luck trying to serve ads to fediverse users. They’ll just go somewhere else.

        Doesn’t that support my point? If anyone can spin up a fed instance, that means the growth could potentially be faster, not slower…
