    To use a somewhat stretched analogy. Instances should be like bitcoin miners, I don’t need to know much about them individually at all. My only concern is that there isn’t a majority miner/instance.

    It doesn’t have to be a reddit clone, but the federation needs to move to a more mandatory model, and one that puts the content first. The current system is far too user hostile to allow anything but the lowest common denominator of communities.

      Miners are trying to make money, which is why having a faceless and generic flavour/community is irrelevant.

      That’s not what motivates folk running lemmy instances
