Why are people so interested in mass adoption of things like fediverse? (self.fediverse)

Don't get me wrong I'm a big fan but it seems like the fediverse could theoretically exist with like 5 users whereas a commercial company needs users for revenue. It feels like we are using the masters tools to try to destroy the masters house

I'm not online so I can stare at websites, and any website will do. I want discussions, people and content. A platform with five users, as you say, has relatively little value to me unless they're like my best friends.

I actually like the level of activity there is now. When I take a look there's always new posts and usually something I want to reply to.

More would be fine. But yes 5 random people would get stale pretty quickly.
