Yes, I think that the bigger an individual server gets the more problematic its "user-friendliness" becomes, perhaps because of the effort of riding herd on the large number of accounts on it. I suspect it's another instance of the idea that throwing more people at a problem doesn't necessarily help fix it. On the other hand, trying to pick out a small Mastodon server to host one's account is rather trying; there is always the chance that it will suddenly disappear, leaving one suspended in mid-air like Wiley Coyote.
