I'm still hoping we can get some stuff done before that happens. It'll be a mess regardless, but it might help with some of the friction
At the same time, we already have a lot of good stuff now. All the frontends, mobile apps, and browser extensions just did not exist a few months ago. That alone is very impressive
It's a matter of slow growth. If it all happened fast with a huge user base, things would break and stop functioning in more places and more often ... which would drive people away.
It's better to just grow everything slowly and steadily. It's better to be reliable, than the biggest and fastest.
I'm here for the long haul. And we'll probably look back fondly at this time when everything was small and just starting. I'm happy I'm here and I look forward to what is to come.
On that one, thank you for all the work you are doing with !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca !
😊
