I'm happy the way it is. Massive growth will just turn it into another shit hole like Reddit, which I came here to get away from.

I agree with the sentiment, when things get too popular every sub becomes more generic and filled with recycled or low effort content. But there's a happy medium. It would be nice if there were enough people that some more niche communities had activity.

There's a lot of smaller communities that are only kept going by one dedicated poster, or never got the critical mass to keep going, which is a shame.
