My thoughts are that the title should be relevant.

Eh, it's a bit naive IMO. It's nice to focus on your small, close-knit community, but it does not live in a vacuum. At some point the world (read: capital) will come knocking at it's door, and if you've been sticking your head in the sand until now you will not be prepared for what happens.

Also, what if I don't want my community to be small and close-knit? Lemmy is way more interesting now that it was a month ago, after growing by an order of magnitude. Ask anyone who's grown up in a rural town and they'll confirm this: tiny communities are fucking boring.

Yeah good points there will always be shifts in social networks as no teenager wants to use the same social network as their parents. 😁

Convenience creep is real though, as apps like WeChat are more integrated into society at large for things like payments than the likes of Instagram or WhatsApp in the West
