I log on and see amazing visual artists exhibiting their latest work; indie devs building their own software ecosystems; writers and scholars talking about their latest research; designers showing the progress on the games they're making; people just feeling out ways of living that work for them in a world that is too often hostile to idiosyncrasy. The network doesn't have to put me in touch with every artist or dev or designer or writer or scholar or iconoclast in the world, just these.

I'm not saying that we shouldn't build for accessibility. I'm not saying that we shouldn't be concerned about outreach. But I think our focus should be on providing tools for welcome, and that we should regard growth as a potential side-effect of welcome, but one that we can live without, so long as the network consists of people who benefit from that welcome.
