We are not YPTB. If you have a problem with the way an instance or community is run, then take it up over at !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com.
- Addendum: Yes we know that you think ml/hexbear/grad are tankies and or .world are a bunch of liberals but it gets old quickly. Try and come up with new material.

As someone who runs their own Lemmy instance, I do. People tend to join up with large instances, thus making the whole "decentralised" aspect a bit ambivalent and the system more prone to single points of failure....

But I also understand why - while my instance indeed has lots and lots of resources still available - there are many real-life advantages of choosing instances with established mod- and admin teams and an active community.

This is the thing here, like, for most casual users "decentralisation and spreading the load" is not just far down the list of priorities, it's literally nonexistent. Content, uptime, reliability, active moderation and low risk of the instance just disappearing one day is what they care about. It's unfortunate, but I really don't see a way around it.

Lemmy.zip does an amazing job with reliability and transparency, see their latest report https://lemmy.zip/post/35411310?scrollToComments=true

They still aren't that popular, 12th with 740 MAU https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list

Programming.dev had a database corruption issue for 4 months (see !meta@programming.dev ), 1098 MAU. And I'm not saying that people should leave PD, but that issue was concerning for quite a while.

I think on top of what you said, people just don't want to move and only do so when the instance actually goes down.

I thought p.d's db issue was fixed now, but I haven't investigated. I just remember seeing announcement messages about it.
