Communities are not things that can be infinitely fractured and divided without adverse consequences. Humans aren't fungibility automatons and mere statistics.
The only reasonable design decision is to actively prevent the formation of "a biggest instance". Concentration of power will always kill communities. I was in slashdot then Digg then Reddit, concentration of power always lead to abuse of power and leveraging that power against the users.
