In c/unpopularopinion, people just upvote the opinions the like, making them popular. There are barely any unpopular opinions there.

The Fediverse doesn't need to become wildly popular with billions of users, and if it ever does, that will probably end up ruining it somehow.

    For every thing there's a critical mass of people below which it can be awesome, and above which it either collapses or requires so many rules and so much administration that it is no longer the cool thing it was before

    Definitely risks of enshittification if it grows more popular. The open web is decentralised, but that managed to get taken over by shitty walled gardens, and it's possible similar things could happen. Or difficult to control spam like with email, where it becomes much harder to run independent/smaller hosts, and the larger players end up making the rules to suit themselves

    I'm like 50/50 on this. I think it could use more users just cuz the content is a bit sparse, but I do hope it stays niche

    For that, we need more people contributing content more consistently, but not necessarily more people, just more participation/fewer lurkers. Most places are like 90%+ lurkers though so either something has to change with how people use the site or, yeah, just more overall users.
