Comment on PSA: the largest piracy community is blocked from lemmy.world

And who needs 40x interaction? Reddit was too big, too many people competing for attention.

and then that instance get defederated by one of the big instances or has other performance issues because its not one of the big instances and now you’re stuck picking from the big instances if you want any kind of content and curation on a socialmedia platform built to centralize users into interest groups so they can curate and discuss content. but yeah, defederatino is good for that, lets you live in your completely unpopulated bubble.

Very hypothetical there, like you’re reaching for things that could go wrong.
I know that centralisation doesn’t work because I’ve seen it turn the internet to shit over the last 15 years. If I had it my way we’d go back to small independent forums with no federation because they were much better communities. But in the name of progress, federation does have some advantages, but as soon as things start getting too big there should absolutely be defederation to prevent the platform from getting like Reddit.

To be honest, if that person is so keen on centralized platform, why are they even here? They should just go back to Reddit, they might come back here later

what was the centralized one everyone went to? squabbles?
wait nope the admin turned out to be a free speech nutjob. uhhh, discuit? i think that’s a thing?

im telling you things that are happening right not to various instances for various reasons, all of them down to the personal bias of the admins, not the consensus of the users in that instance.

Who says they need consensus? Instances are privately run, they don’t have to be democracies. Users can vote with their feet, so to speak.
