In the case of social network like this, bigger generally is better for the users. The thing that made Reddit great was that whatever your niece interest, there was a community of thousands of other interested people. There was so much information and advice on whatever obscure topic.
There's a reason why there's only around 10 really popular social networks and it's certainly not that those platforms are any good. The network effect is important.
