I thought the point of a fediverse was distribution making it so that no one site becomes death star sized. If one site has ALL the biggest communities… What happens if that site goes down? Shouldn’t each site that wants one have a “Tech” community, and then those get aggregated into Tech? Wouldn’t that be a better approach? Doesn’t it make more sense that no one site has so many users the server can’t handle the load (been waiting for over a week for subscriptions on lemmy.ml to complete). Before someone feels the need to explain to me what they think a federation is, I’ve taught the subject. The point I’m trying to make is… Why do we keep pretending that being the biggest is a benefit, when it is directly detrimental to the architecture that we are using? #justanotheridiot #whatdontiget #federationday
P.S. before anybody goes out of their way to be offended, my hash tags are an attempt at self deprecating humor.
This is the reason I made my account on lemmy.world and not one of the smaller is I feel this one is more likely to exist long term. But on the flip side if too many of us go with the same one I feel things would be centralized enough that they would be by and large the dominant instance. Hopefully as this place grows we can come to some solution via discussion.
