I do still see value in a general landing page for new lemmy users, but this whole thing has really shown me that it should not be anything like this. .ml and .world have done a lot of work becoming the "big" instances and now they have a taste for censorship (and have most the users) I doubt it will get better.

I don't know how federation works in detail, but I really hope it's like torrenting where peers introduce each other. That way if one person decides to defederate with an instance it's a decision that only applies to him. If anybody else is federated then the connection information is available to all. i.e. the network heals around damage.
I have no problem with someone constructing a bubble for themselves, but they don't get to say what's in my bubble.
well they just told 100k people what will be in their bubble....
Lemmy world has like 3500 active users a day. That’s not large. That’s going to be the base for a small decent instance in a year.
