As long as it's not only lemmy.world communities you start growing. Centralization won't lead to good outcomes anywhere.

Absolutely! Grow a community on any instance that doesn't allow the kind of users that lemmy.ml does I say.
I think we gave them too much power by making their communities as big as we did
I'm glad there is enough critical mass to move past those fucking hatemongers. "Pure free speech and anarchy!" If you say exactly what we want you to, also don't accidentally offend us with normal fucking words
They're not anarchists tho. Don't associate anarchism with .ml bullshit
Can't? I already personally blocked them months ago.
How I interact with lemmy.ml:
- If I see a post I want to comment on, I comment on it. I don't give a fuck what instance it's on.
- If I want to post, I select the relevant community with the most subscribers. I don't give a fuck what instance it's on.
- If I can't comment or post there, because I was banned for criticizing a dictatorship, I select the next biggest community.
(This happens about 50% of the time, cause I'm now banned on most .ml communities, simply for posting common sense opinions.)
honestly, I eventually got fed up enough and instance blocked .ml on my account a couple weeks ago, and Ive barely noticed a difference. It was the bulk of lemmy right after it started to get some migration from Reddit, but it isnt nearly as essential these days already
I noticed a change for the better.
