I suppose that depends on what you consider "good" for Mastodon. I wouldn't consider growth simply for the sake of growth to be a good thing. That's stage 1 of enshittification. It also means a shitload of awful people joining, tons of mod work, etc.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for Mastodon and the fediverse becoming more accessible. I just think the growth needs to be for the right reasons.
Agreed, to a point. I do like the smaller communities but on the other hand I also want mastodon to be a larger blip on the overall perception so we get first-hand content creators instead of having to resort to bots copying over tweets since none of the original people want to bother with it.
