One of the many things that bothers me about the #meta issue is that they met with admins of large instances.
Meanwhile, the *vast* majority of instances are small and in fact *want* to be small. They are fine with the fediverse as a whole being large.
They *close* registration -- which is unthinkable by a Meta exec.
Meta operates under the logic of scale, scale, scale. So naturally they assume Big Instances = Good Ones. That's not necessarily true.
