Growing the Nix user base is an anti-goal for the community. The current "growing pains" as have been previously brought up are becoming a critical issue. Thisobviously aligns very closely with the rights-ratchet model outlined here: https://meshedinsights.com/2021/02/02/rights-ratchet
As well as this, the community will NOT grow and will only keep shrinking unless the issues that have been brought up continuously by every single community member who has left and declared their embarrassment to be part of a project that's behaving in this way are addressed. The community IS Nix.
If Eelco does not want to be seen as a BDFL trying to privatize Nix, he should prioritize the community's interests as stated by the COMMUNITY and maybe actually start reading what community members have been telling him repeatedly over years instead of apparently glancing at their messages for key words and then projecting his own guess of what they must be talking about. It is tone-deaf and insulting to our time and efforts.
In no unclear words let this message state: Eelco Dolstra is an obstacle to the community and should recuse himself immediately. Growing the Nix user base is an anti-goal for the community.
Just ask for clarification, what does this mean?

 @joepie91:pixie.town | as I understand it, it means "we are already having problems with our current size, we need to solve those, instead of trying to grow even bigger and making the problems bigger too" | 16:10:24 |
 eaon | In other words, sustainability should be the focus now instead of growth | 16:13:25 |
 infinisil | Very much agreed! | 16:14:47 |
| infinisil | People will come automatically (and have been for 20 years) if we have a good technology and community | 16:15:22 |
