@mejofi @boud @jcolomb It just occurred to me that we might not be talking on similar terms here: for me the break point for "medium" is about 150 people, where it is unlikely for everyone to know everyone else. Because to me that is a place where governance mechanisms become necessary rather than just a good idea. I talk about this in https://runyourown.social
Re: the American thing, it's a valid criticism and I am trying to be mindful of my biases. We want an international sample for sure.
@darius @boud @jcolomb I would still be wary of excluding BIPOC folks that way, though, so I’d argue that you should probably be correcting for that in a parallel track that doesn’t select based on instance size. As in, also talk to folks on Black-run instances, for example, even if they are small.
