Why does lemmy.world, the largest instance, not simply eat the other instances?
Centralization is bad
But… is that even a good thing? I mean, the point of the fediverse is to distribute the load across instances.
The point is that everyone CAN start an instance and become bigger. It’s the users that decide.
I like this way of putting it. It’s like that post that was around a few days ago discussing lemmy as being “CEO-proof”.
It’s not really I guess, but if an instance got big and started being unfriendly/unreasonable to users they could just go to another instance and still be part of the federation.
Unfortunately I don’t have much faith in this social network until the bot issue is addressed. There is a huge contingent of spambots just waiting for their moments here.
Spam bots or spam servers? Everyone is saying regulate signups for servers but anyone can spin up a Lemmy server and spam with thousands of accounts until they are defedarated. Then 5 minutes later do it again with a new server. It’s not hard to setup a Lemmy server.
Now can we defederate the .ml tankies?
