In my opinion, getting one central instance of Lemmy would just turn it into reddit. Eventually some tyrant would get power over it and we would be right back to the problems reddit is currently facing. The federation is a feature that prevents all that shit because tyrants can only take down small portions of the network.

Yes it adds some struggles, but you get what you fight for. Unless things change for reddit, it doesn't look good. Most people will have more self respect to stick around and the content is going to suffer as a result.

That all being said, if this is a deal breaker for you, I understand, but I request that you give others a chance to see if Lemmy is right for them.
