    Most of us don’t judge users but we are internally vocal about our own social challenges.

    .ml is a big instances and people coming from the old web find such attractive, it feels like “the official one” we are well aware.

    The have been attempts to advertise avoiding those but were not exactly a well coordinated organization.

    Regardless the ideology of .ml and others big instances pose a problem in centralized power. Lemmy works best as many tiny servers organically building a network of content and ideas.

    All of Lemmy is accessible as long as your instance is federated (almost all) however some may defederate from those problematic big ones, limiting the posts you can see.

    You wont lose much by changing instance right now. There is no karma or rewards associated with your account. You can also make multiple on different instances with the same user name so you have a backup if your main instance goes down.

        The main problem with centralisation

        If the majority of user and communities live on a the same instance, and that instance goes down or becomes to toxic to keep federated then fediverse loses a large chunk of its whole. While if it a tiny instances that dissapears only a few people and communities need to migrate.

        General i also think its beneficial if the owners of an instance are the same people from the communities its hosts. The role of general use instances should be more like a backup mirror

        One example is the lemmy.ml problem. You see the rest of the Tankie Triad is pretty widely defederated from, but lemmy.ml isn’t despite doing much of the same things, just a bit more subtlety.

        Because lemmy.ml is such a big instance and has a few of the biggest comms (By subscribers only, which means a bunch of dead accounts boosting the numbers, by MAUs a much different story unfolds) many instances admins are hesitant to defederate from them

        Big instances carry too much power and influence and if you’re a toxic instance like .ml, it can be used to basically bully other instances into remaining federated with you

      it’s not centralized, .world is considerably bigger and way more conservative, like it even has a splinter /c/196 populated with everyone who thought neo pronouns and basic levels of respect were too hard

        It’s funny that you still feel the need to spread this slander. Almost like you’re still upset that you spent months defending a blatant troll using an old conservative canard.

          it’s not that hard to have basic levels of respect for people using neo pronouns, and if they’re trolling then let them slip up and get banned for that.

          it’s just an observed pattern of behavior that .world has a lot of cis people who misgender people when they disagree with them like it’s an argument

            Okay? Where does that play into your slander about the .world 196 being filled with people who don’t respect neopronouns?

            it’s just an observed pattern of behavior that .world has a lot of cis people who misgender people when they disagree with them like it’s an argument

            So now it’s not the .world 196, it’s .world in general.

              there was a pretty clear reason they left and went to .world, they fit the culture better there

              I don’t even use /196 I was just watching from the sidelines for that one lol

                So first it was you asserting that .world 196 doesn’t respect neopronouns, then it turned into .world has a tendency to have people who don’t respect neopronouns, and now it’s “I have a vibe that 196 doesn’t respect pronouns, but I don’t actually use 196”.

                btw, are you still banned from the 196 on Blahaj? Of course, you don’t use it. :)

                  I said that was the reason they left, because it was a huge debacle that nobody could miss when it happened.

                  I’m the esl person here, is reading what I’m saying instead of of making up shit really that difficult?

                    You didn’t miss it, but apparently, you were completely incapable of parsing what was going on. Which is unsurprising coming from someone who bootlicks dictators and thinks that’s leftism. :)

                    instead of of making up shit

                    lmao, coming from someone who’s claiming the 196 move was over .world not respecting neopronouns, when respecting neopronouns is still a rule on the .world 196 and has been since day 1 of the move.

        I include .world in the category “other”

        For the record i am also starting to feel like sopuli is getting a bit crowded. Don’t get me wrong everyone is welcome i just think we can benefit from more independent niches and corners.
