when picking a social network people consider 2 things:
1 - The network effect (i.e. if the people they want to interact with are there)
2- If they are comfortable there
Mastodon and the fediverse grew because of the (2) but never enough for (1) to play in its favour.
So yes, the people that are ok with platforming literal nazis are the blocker to further explosive growth.
