I see, thanks.
For me the "anti-growth" ideal is based on the notion of resisting growth for the sake of growth.
Some of the UX talk I have seen has been more about user acquisition problems, rather than user experience problems.
Sure: make the on-boarding processes and views simpler and faster, but don't justify it all with a capitalist assumption of growth being the primary metric of a system's health.
Organic growth is good and welcome, certainly.

@ojrask@piipitin.fi I think growth is a valid metric for a social network which is fundamentally designed for, well, everyone. Capitalist or not. Active and growing usage is a sign that you are doing something useful, enjoyed by others, enough that they tell others. Obviously still within the frame of the mission/vision. After all, if you can make that vision understandable and approachable, you have more chance of that vision succeeding.
