On the one hand one instance having so many users is not ideal. If the mods/admins there go wild you can simply move, and organically the communities hosted there would appear elsewhere.
So in real terms any action they hypothetically could take can realistically be countered.
I think it gives them a little bit too much power in negotiating with other instances, especially with the number of communities hosted here. Choosing to stop interacting with them is a very drastic action because much of the threadiverse is here. Especially for me who has already cut out .ml which also has a disproportionate number of communities due to its age.
Lemmy has about 40,000 monthly active users. Lemmy.world accounts for about 15,500 of that. That’s about 40%.
Thanks. Yeah .world is definitely a bit too big, but it’s still miles better than bluesky.
