I don't think that at all - a dozen or two replies to a topic is great because you can then reply to all of them on a personal level. That's how things were on forums in the old days. If you have hundreds of replies then there's the feeling of shouting in to the void, everyone competing for attention, that's where centralised social media platforms went wrong. On a decentralised platform we can take back the personal approach, that's what makes it better than Reddit - the danger is that it might get too centralised again and end up just as impersonal.
ive been off facebook for quite a while now but when i was still on it, id unfollowed just about any real-life bullshit and was exclusively engaging in private groups featured around special interests. i ended up doing the same with reddit & a private sub before leaving, i enjoy recognizing usernames.
all this to say: agreed
