That's just fine with me. Quality > quantity
Some of the best forums I use have just a handful of active users
But quantity and quality are linked. If only, say, 0.1% of people will post high quality content, that means you need to attract a thousand people to get a high quality poster. You can't just put up a sign that says "high quality posters only". Plenty of quality posters also want an audience, so they'll go where the people are and leave if that audience isn't there.
Ok, and I'll go where I like the most people I like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I left reddit for many reasons. I don't want most of those people here.
So, to be blunt, I don't care
So circling back then, if the high quality posters leave here, sure you'll leave with them and you'll be fine, but it still hurts the fediverse if they leave.
