I’m a male, 23 yo software developer. Admin of lemy.lol instance.
It is about power. If they have more than 50% of the users, then all other instances should comply with their changes and obey them. If they don’t, then they’ll be blocked by more than half of the users. No instance owner will take this risk.
I’m trying to explain you that you don’t really need to own something to own it. If you have enough power, you have it already.
Wait why is “dubvee.org” defederated from my instance? Interesting…
Interesting 🤔 Maybe lemmy.zip’s behaviour is suitable for us too. Their description is “A Lemmy community for everyone, with a focus towards tech, PCs, and gaming”.
I use it for some niche communities too. Small communities are not infected with bots fortunately. Apart from that, it sucks more than before for sure.
