 Growth is not my KPI. 

Freedom and cool people is. 
 Your KPIs were due 9 days ago Juraj, you are late turning them in! 
 Thank you for reminding me of my deadlines! 😉 

I will bring some cool people from Žilina this Saturday.

 This there a nice list of SK/CZ conferences like this?  
 If they are bitcoin related, it's on dvadsatjeden.org for SK and jedenadvadset website for cz. But that is maybe too verbose. 
 Cool people and freedom technology are important, but with more users comes more value for value or more subscriptions which means sustainability for our devs. 
 Value for Value tastes best when it comes from freedom-seeking cool people.

I don't disagree with you, but many platforms had problem of normies coming in and basically shitting on the street, making cool people leave.

Nostr will either die or this will happen to it too, I just hope it won't be too soon, so we can have some more fun here.

USENET / Mailing lists -> IRC -> SILC -> (pre-social forums, for me kyberia) -> Facebook -> Instagram/Twitter/... 

All has the same fate. Cool people are in, discussions are fun, then normies come, there's ton of spam, cool people leave. 
 ‘Cool people’ is  always subjective. Right or wrong, most people will think of us bitcoiners geeks and nerds. I personally don’t think it’s necessary or helpful to judge groups of people. 
 As a personal KPI it's good. It's not about judging, I'm not saying there's anyone who would not come. I personally prefer quality over quantity and striving for numbers is not the best approach. 

Value is always subjective and it's good.

For some people even Facebook is good. 
 Still, we should feed the devs more often👀😆 
 Devs like food 🥹 
 I’m guessing steak right? 
 I get that. How are you defining quality?  It’s probable I’ve missed some context somewhere. 
 When I'm bored, the quality has gone down and I move away.

It's not about definition, you can feel it when it's not right.
