Whenever barrier to entry is discussed for lemmy, and reducing confusion for different servers is brought up, all of the isolationist comments come out of the woodwork.
Apparently redditors who are too dumb to register should stay on reddit?
We have a platform that seems to be working and slowly growing. Shouldnt we want good defaults in place to give the best possible experience with minimal user effort?
In theory, yes. In practice, it depends.
It’s too easy for trolls to manipulate the way Lemmy is structured. If they get banned on one instance, they can create a dozen more accounts on other instances.
In general, yes. Everyone does their own thing and goes where they want which is awesome. Unfortunately, trolls can do the same on a much grander scale than on Reddit.
