The Fediverse is an owner-operated network, we do not need more "users" we need more owner-operators.
this 1000%.
If we just get more "users" then all it'll mean is a few instances cost infinite money and have way too much power and so have to start doing shady shit. If way more people are just doing their little thing then the resources required are decentralized, nobody has that much power, and nobody needs to pay that much to run their little slice.

On the national level this means tens of thousands of relatively independent operators, doing what's in their own best interest.
This would make the Fedi robust and resilient to attacks.
