I think having one central instance is bad for the fediverse as a whole.
But your account is 4 hours old. Why should I leave this established community with many users to go to a new one run by a new account?

I got you fam.
If it's not how can we assign a new one? Or do we have to abandon it and create a new one?
Someone who is interested can either request the mod position from the l.w. mods, or create one. My instance lemmy.dbzer0.com is ND-positive if needed.
I have put in a request to be made moderator. Hopefully we can make it more active here.

Ye I know, which is why I asked
