Context

The main arguments for people to defederate are

  • "Embrace, extend, and extinguish" strategy: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html
  • A potential federation with Threads (should Thread decide to implement it) would overwhelm Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed with millions of users (compared to the 40k monthly current active users), transforming those platforms into a threaded version of Facebook
  • Defederating preventively costs nothing

There was only ever one "main lemmy" instance, back in the days when Lemmy.ml was presented as the official flagship instance on the official lemmy project page by the official developers. And was the biggest instance that absolutely dominated the lemmyverse.

I don't miss those days.
