Try testing your "fediverse freedom" on .ml and see how long your account lasts.
-
Can just switch to the next instance. There are dozens!
But seriously fucking the tankies.
-
Truth. But there's something to be said for such large instances.
-
What is that something? "I am dissatisfied with how that instance that I'm not on and don't need to use is run?" What are you whining about?
-
I can tell by your accusation of "whining" that you have no interest in a logical discussion so I'll pass, thanks.

.ml =/= Fediverse
That's like saying:
China = Planet Earth
-
Good thing no one said that.
-
-
-
It's not even that big compared to literally the two largest instances!
-
Yeah, actually. Of the top
fivefour instances by MAU according to FediDB, lemmy.ml has 9% of the total user base.I know there a pie charts that illustrate this point better, but I can't find them right now.
-
So here's a question: how many of the top active communities does it host?
-
One out of the top ten when sorting by MAU. That community is !memes@lemmy.ml.
Say what you will about the Lemmy devs and their political leanings, but they did a great job at ensuring the broader Lemmy community would not centralize onto their instance.
-
So 10% of the top 10? How about the top 50?
-
I don't know. I'm just making rough estimates. Suffice it to say that that the lemmy.ml admins do not have any power over the vast majority of lemmy users.
-
Okay. Sure.

You want to test that "Fediverse Freedom" say "every billionaire in the world, their wives, parents and children shall be torn apart with random farming machinery and/or prostituted to death whichever is funnier" and see what happens.
-
Was something supposed to happen?
-
crickets
-
every billionaire in the world, their wives, parents and children shall be torn apart with random farming machinery and/or prostituted to death whichever is funnier
-
Say that 14 years ago on reddit, and nobody would give a shit. Say it today on Lemmy and it’s not protected speech.
-
Why should it be?

-
Average fedizen complaining about propaganda when they see fediverse propaganda
-
Let's just water down that word until it means nothing...
