I’d love it if we let it develop organically.

In what way(s) is it not doing precisely that?

You know what never develop organically? Corporate social media platforms.

I think they're referring to people casually mentioning that growth is desirable, which comes across as corpo think.

As you say, that perspective doesn't have any direct relevance, but is does have impact. For example regarding the decision to defederate from threads.

Totally with you. Just want to say that there is certain growth that comes organically that isn't necessarily desirable.

For example many subs would start out cool and informative and then as they grew it somehow attracted an idiot crowd that was only capable of sharing memes. Or they group shift into some extreme perspectives.
