Yep, I wouldn't doubt it, then probably dbzer0 will follow, and maybe even blahaj.zone after that.
Personally I don't really much for .world posts, but I do know the admins on .ml have maintained that they believe instances that are more open to federation will be more stable in the long run, and .world admins appear to want to remain somewhat friendly with the devs, so we are at a standstill.
I wouldn't put dbzer0 and blahaj anywhere near the tanky instances
They want to peddle a persecution narrative, because it's the only way they can cope with the fact that, in reality, they're disliked because they run in a toxic fascist community.
People said the same about Lemmy.ml, .world always wants a target.
Yes, .ml isn't as bad a tankie instance as hexbear and lemmygrad are when talking about the user base in general, present company excluded of cause. And I have heard bad stories about mods but I still wouldn't put it in the same bucket
Hence the sliding slope.
Unless the tankies jump over to dbzer0 or blahaj because they feel so lonely since they can't troll anymore, those won't be defederated.
.world will pull that trigger and then it'll become a little echo chamber that will eventually die out while the rest of us on the lemmyverse will watch and wonder if anything can be done.
Yes, the largest Lemmy instance will become a little echo chamber because it doesn't view fascism as "just a differing viewpoint that needs to be respected 🥺"
let history inform your opinion: there have been multiple reddit diasporas feeding into other social media platforms and at least 2 of them were larger than the one that's currently swelling the ranks of lemmy.world; every single one has failed once they turned into an echo chamber.
I generally agree, and I think that's why they haven't pulled the trigger.
