I don’t even know what the point of having a decentralized platform is if everyone defederates from each other and congregates in a few instances anyway.
Like you stick Timmy the MAGA nut and Bobby the tankie in the same community and somehow they’ll all just get along because it’s not Reddit.
I think the only upside is you don’t need to create as many accounts to engage with multiple communities across the verse, atleast until heavy moderation kicks in preventing this in the future.
For the exact reason so many of us had come here with recent rules changes that reddit have adopted.
Here on lemmy it would be relatively painless to move to a new instance if lemmy.world suddenly decided to ban the capital letter B. But if Spez thought it might increase his IPO, there wouldn’t be much you can do about it.
Yeah but whats the difference between switching instances when the admins get totalitarian vs switching forums. I don’t really understand the benefit of Lemmy because it still encourages the same behavior as Reddit. Yeah you can move to another instance but that’s exactly like switching forums on the old web.
I believe what will eventually happen is all the biggest instances will have a small number of whitelisted instances that can be interacted with and that’s it. Everything will be tightly controlled among the larger instances.
