    It not having the people to be a place for you is perfectly acceptable reason to not be interested, but dismissing near 40K people as nothing is just wrong. That’s the population of a decent sized town.

    We’re the ones trying to make a product for them

    I really hate this language. I’m trying to build a community, not make something to be profited off.

      While I mostly agree with you, I’d argue that a “product” isn’t something that necessarily involves any sort of capitalist fever dream of something to be sold or profited off of. A “product” is, at the end of the day, a quantifiable result of work, and Fediverse software is arguably such a thing.
