Sure, but it’ll be the same story all over again. The big platform will be ruined and the alternative option will be smaller and therefore not as good (since user base directly contributes to quality when it comes to community-based platforms; it’s the users who post all the content, so fewer users = less content).
There’s something to be said for smaller communities, if you are looking for connection rather than just raw content. If you really prefer a larger community, that’s fair, but I don’t think everyone is going to feel the need to hop onto a commercial instance just because it’s bigger. I used to like some really tiny forums back in the day, and I don’t think they would have been better if they had been bigger. They were fine just as they were.
