“The bigger a social platform gets the more synergy it spawns”

Ehhhh, small groups have plenty of synergy, no?

Is some growth good? Of course. Is becoming as big as everyone else is a good idea? You tell me: which megalithic tech company has a userbase that isn’t being poisoned or exploited? Namely: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, etc.

Keeping a reasonable size, just like anything else in this life, is the correct option. Obsessive growth leads to greed and misery.

EDIT: Sorry for being so brain dead in my initial response

What exactly is wrong with his comment? He's right.

It came off as aggressive but they fixed it

What's wrong with a little aggression if you're making a solid point and straightening a few people out?
