For all your boycotting needs. I'm sure there's some mods caught in lemmy.ml's top 10 that are perfectly upstanding and reasonable people, my condolences for the cross-fire.

  1. [email protected] and [email protected]. Or of course communities that rule.
  2. [email protected]
  3. [email protected]. Quite small, plenty of more specific ones available. Also linux is inescapable on lemmy anyway :)
  4. [email protected]
  5. [email protected]
  6. [email protected] and maybe [email protected], lemmy.one itself seems to be up in the air. [email protected] says [email protected]. They really seem to be hiding even from another, those tinfoil hats :)
  7. [email protected]
  8. Seems like [email protected] and [email protected], various smaller comic-specifc communities as well as [email protected]
  9. [email protected]
  10. [email protected]

(Out of the loop? Here's a thread on lemmy.ml mods and their questionable behaviour)

Please dont use lemmy.world alternatives. World is a much bigger problem in terms of centralization.

Are you on [email protected]? That’s a topic we discuss quite often there

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I didnt know about it. Thanks for mentioning. Subscribed.

Nice, unfortunately you don't have the comments on your instance but here's an example thread about LW centralization:

I will probably get the comments at some point. Its a matter of federation I guess. Thanks for the resource. Will check.

I don't care how big .world gets because it's the same thing with mastodon.social or pixelfed.social. Coming from primarily centralized services, people will always be looking for a "main" instance because that's what their brains are used to and that's what will help adoption. The ones who care will use another instance. As long as fedi has the users and not the proprietary alternatives, it's fine. We can manage.

You're partially right, but it would be better if users were evenly spread on many instances.

Imagine if one instance becomes so big and then they de-federate. For normal users, nothing would change, but then we would have created the new R*ddit
