"And I feel like by now the growth has come to an end."
Non-corporate platforms don't grow like corporate ones.
Commercial platforms try to grow quickly and unsustainably to please shareholders who are thinking about the next quarter's figures.
Fediverse growth happens differently:
1. Mass wave of new people
2. Wave dies down, many leave
3. More people stick around than before the wave, network has grown
This repeats over years and provides gradual but sustainable growth.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services Maybe. But what if not? What if we have reached the limits without structural changes?
The Fediverse exist, it's a nice place. It doesn't need to grow to ensure it's existence. That's not my point.
I think society has a problem rooted in the marketing platforms some call "social media" and I think Fediverse is the best solution to this problem. But transferring the reasons why so many still use this platforms to Fedi, would perhaps need more possibilities to make money.
