In my opinion, it's not growth in users that's the problem but in capital. The more the platform wants to earn, the shittier it gets. And since lemmy isn't going to earn anything, it ain't get shitty
There is no problem is having business offering hosting services, and if we want to have more users we will need professional support.
IOW, the problem is not with "capital" or "the profit motive", but Corporativism.
Can you elaborate on the difference?
A farmer that is selling oranges, a brewer who is selling beer or an email provider like Tutanota are still looking for a profit and will only work for money. But they are all on a different league as the 5 "BigFood" who buys orange farms to sell orange juice to Walmart, or InBev who monopolizes the beer market, or Google/AWS who tries to ensure they are the only ones who can send email.
