A counterpoint to the idea that the clunkiness that keeps away the masses should be Threads. A couple of days in and they are full with hate and bullshit because they had millions right away. I know the format is different from here, but I think the concept still applies.
Slow steady growth of people who have to think critically to really use the platform is better than explosive growth from every ignoramus signing up to spew drivel. At least that’s my perception of it all.

Slow and steady is definitely best. New lemmings can learn the new (and hopefully better) netiquette, then help spread it to the next wave.
The other option is what happened to threads. Loudest wins, and the negative Right are VERY loud.
