MODERATORS
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.
