I’ve been thinking about this lately.
You’re right in that there’s no central “authority”, but lemmy has become very centralised with all the content on a few big instances in fiefdoms controlled by a few mods who seem to be weirdos with too much time on their hands.
I guess the benefit is, if an instance or a mod does something really egregious there’s the potential to just move to another instance.
I think we need another few iterations of exodus from other platforms because of whatever shitstorm for lemmy to develop its own vibrance.

It already happened for the star trek instance.

This is precisely why I am in favor of defederating from the shit instances, .ml in particular. Because it transfers demand for popular communities away from those instances and ostensibly helps grow alternatives.

Well, then create new communities if that’s what you want to see here. What’s stopping you?

Because modding online communities is a huge waste of time for anyone who isn’t desperate for validation.

Ah, so you just want to complain about everything and not do anything yourself. Gotcha.
