More people does not make a community better. Better people make a community better.
Every community is going to attract good and bad people. With more people there’s going to be more good people AND more bad people.

When you’re talking about an Internet forum, yes, more people makes things better.
The magic of reddit is being able to find a community for the most obscure niche interest ever. You can’t do that with just a few thousand tech-savvy nerds like us here.
every site has scaling problems unfortunately.
Cross posted my reply too:
Of all the people that migrated from reddit to voat, quite a lot were from the banned subs like fatpeoplehate. That means the userbase is naturally more toxic.
Of all the people that migrated to lemmy, there isn’t the same bias. I don’t think we need to worry that much.
It’s an existential statement. The account is being.
