As someone who has been an internet nomad for years now, I can tell you I'd much rather participate in a few small niche communities I enjoy like saidit than a larger one. Not saying we shouldn't try to grow, but keep in mind what you're asking: if you like saidit and the saidit community in its current state, a large influx of new users would likely erase or at least drastically alter the community's identity, as well as raising other issues like hosting and site rule considerations. You may quickly find yourself outnumbered by people who want the community to take a different path than you.

Yeah. I heard of the effect of woketoids invading a platform and trying to change it.

But Twitter showed it was possible to have a BIG platform without woketoids taking control.

Also, the foundational admin userbase of saidit was made to be in contrast to reddit, which is the non-free-speech website I dislike. We all saw what reddit became when it sold off and started catering to investors. I would at least assume the admins and owner saw that and will make sure saidit doesn't make the same mistake (unless they're greedy...)
