> Is this really a trade off that is reasonable in chasing growth and reach?
The real question is why the heck do we need growth and reach anyhow - we aren't a profit-seeking capitalist entity that requires endless growth for no reason as quickly as possible.
It will reach and grow without help, just more slowly. The idea of fedi was around a long time before mastodon and even activitypub - I was excited about it ~2006.
I already read my maximum number of follows and I've been maxed out for years. I'm happy to see govts and media with their own instances and that will only grow.
The only reason for Threads federating is to reach into our instances a devour our privacy - they aren't federating to be our special friend. But maybe some people like that, IDK. It's a personal choice and I've blocked the domain.
Besides, I have no interest in joining with over a billion people I do not know, while I have a tough time keeping up with the 60-70 people I do know. Plus the people they boost etc etc
