    Yeah, we could’ve done much worse for admins. Lemmy.world is pretty good right now but I’m concerned about the centralization of power and the single point of failure. I would’ve preferred a medium sized instance but you can’t win it all I suppose.

    Maybe at some point the community can create a different community on a medium sized instance. I’m just concerned about potentially controversial decisions being made that have a huge impact on the community.

      I’m just concerned about potentially controversial decisions being made that have a huge impact on the community.

      TenForward is proof that with Lemmy the concern shouldn’t be so severe. Risa is enormous and was for a while. But now it is effectively dead with no one posting on it. Why? Because controversial decisions of the community caused the community to go to another instance and set things up there instead.

      I wouldn’t worry too much. Star Trek is pretty aggressively about hope and freedom. Even if I were to become the most Romulan bastard around, it wouldn’t change the community. They’d all leave and set up on another instance and should rightfully do so.

      Fediverse be awesome, yo.
