"I don't like this community, I shall"... Go to an empty space talk to myself and maybe one other guy in 3 years
Look Lemmy communities have the same critical mass effect as Reddit does. For each community, there's going to always end up with one big one, and then a bunch of tiny irrelevant ones.
It will take a reddit-sized screw up just to get maybe 1/3 of any particular critical mass community to try and scatter into the lemmyverse.
In every way that matters, Lemmy is as centralized as Reddit.
Do you hear yourself? You sound like those people who say "blockchain" solves every problem. If you don't like a community then "federation" is not some magical solution to it.
You are free to learn the Facebook/Digg/Reddit lesson all over again on lemmy then
