In recent days I have seen these two arguments repeated quite commonly. From reddits side it was all about how "noones using Lemmy anyway"

While from Lemmy it was "how numbers have been exploding"

My question is, why do numbers of users matter so much to anyone really? Isnt activity what matters more?

On two questions here I gotten just as much engagement if not more than anything I did on reddit combined

Its a big thing in the wrestling community: the fans of the evil empire lord over numbers over the little guy and concern troll about the "sustainability" of any competitor that threatens to take away from their empire. Dont worry about it. This kind of corporate tribalism doesnt lead to substantive discussions
