A couple of weeks ago, I ran into a discussion in Mastodon about whether seeking growth for your projects is a good move or "a wacky, fediverse-only take".
I think it's a perfectly valid strategy for open source, hobby or commercial projects. Not everything needs to seek growth: often the right thing to do is to build things to serve a small group of users — even if that is just one person.

Not seeking growth is a perfectly valid strategy
I’m commentating on a discussion I witnessed in Mastodon where someone strongly dismissed the idea or desire to build software without wanting to keep growing their userbase. I think it’s not just a valid strategy but often the right one.
