Try testing your "fediverse freedom" on .ml and see how long your account lasts.
Can just switch to the next instance. There are dozens!
But seriously fucking the tankies.
Truth. But there's something to be said for such large instances.
What is that something? "I am dissatisfied with how that instance that I'm not on and don't need to use is run?" What are you whining about?
I can tell by your accusation of "whining" that you have no interest in a logical discussion so I'll pass, thanks.
.ml =/= Fediverse
That's like saying:
China = Planet Earth
Good thing no one said that.
lemmy.ml is not even a large instance compared to lemmy.world or lemm.ee
Yeah, actually. Of the top ~~five~~ four instances by MAU according to FediDB, lemmy.ml has 9% of the total user base.
I know there a pie charts that illustrate this point better, but I can't find them right now.
So here's a question: how many of the top active communities does it host?
According to lemmyverse.net,
One out of the top ten when sorting by MAU. That community is !memes@lemmy.ml.
Say what you will about the Lemmy devs and their political leanings, but they did a great job at ensuring the broader Lemmy community would not centralize onto their instance.
So 10% of the top 10? How about the top 50?
I don't know. I'm just making rough estimates. Suffice it to say that that the lemmy.ml admins do not have any power over the vast majority of lemmy users.
Okay. Sure.
