  • Yeah, the argument for ditching Lemmy entirely is “these are the devs themselves, even by using other instances you’re indirectly promoting them”. The counterargument is “the more instances that don’t fit their style, the more you’re diluting said style”.

    Compare/contrast e.g. Mastodon and its default instance (mastodon.social, iirc):

    • There are a lot more Mastodon instances than Lemmy instances
    • Some of them are more obviously problematic than m.s (e.g. Truth Social)
    • ISTR criticism of m.s being lower-key on its own, like “too big, stuff lost in shuffle” and/or “too slow to defed obviously problematic instances”
