They can’t scale. They will die.

Or they'll just be a smallish instance building the kind of community they want to build. There's nothing wrong with knowing what you want to be and not trying to be more.

Ostensibly they don't wish to scale at the expense of the quality of their community.

my friend ive been on beehaw since it launched. we dont care for scaling.

They can't scale. They will survive, though. Other generic Lemmy servers are overshadowing Beehaw as a generic Lemmy server. And it is fine for both them and Beehaw, IMO.

What if they don't want to scale?
