Honest question: Why do YOU think people want Mastodon's user base to get bigger? You may even be one of those people, and if so, why do YOU want Mastodon's user base to grow?

Full disclosure: I don't really want or care for Mastodon to get bigger. But I also get why some people may want larger audiences for their art, or their observations about a topic, or any number of reasons.

I'm simply curious why larger social network platform size is viewed so broadly as being good or desirable.

Honest question: Why do YOU think people want more people on Titanic lifeboats? You may even be one of those people, and if so, why do YOU want the number of people on lifeboats to grow?

Full disclosure: I don't really want or care if more people get on these boats. But I get why some people don't want to tread water amongst sea ice in the North Atlantic. Particularly 3rd class passengers and crew.

I'm simply curious why more people in boats is desirable? I mean, I'm safe and warm!

Silliness aside, this question is easy to answer if you shift your thinking from:

"How does more people on the Fediverse help *me*?"

To

"How does more people on the Fediverse help *them*?"
