I think lemmy will end up breaking off into so many echo Chambers, ppl will realize the farce of what the fediverse claims to be and go right back to reddit.
I had really hoped that instances that allowed more wide and varied opinions would naturally grow in size to be the largest. Instead de-federation has continue to cut and slice and separate anyone and everyone. It will never be able to compete with large centralize services like that.
Took the words right out of my mouth. Fucking absolutely agree. I also think their heads got hot when they started gaining reddit users.
I feel at some point they want to leverage that in some way to get out of their day jobs and make profit while incorporating even stricter rules.
I’ve seen beehaw say something about subscriptions in the Admin chat. Also selling merchandise (not sure if that’s relevant) I think they WANT to become the next ‘reddit’ so they can get paid to censor speech.
Grow lemmy as big and powerful as they can so they can mass censor. And if any new servers want in well they gotta play by their rules.
That’s just my conspiracy anyway. I’ve said before, MOB, ALLLLLLLLLLLLL they talk about on matrix is banning, defederating, censorship that’s literally it.

They are obsessed
“we are willing to cut users that don’t fit with what we are aiming for and think that instances sound have particular goals other then ‘growth’”
Look at some of the shit they’ve said. Even talking about 'curating their user base ’
