This might actually help the fediverse go mainstream. And instances that isolate from them will struggle to remain relevant.
And instances that isolate from them will struggle to remain relevant.
Imagine using Fediverse and thinking that some of the instances with certain political alignment can make it effectively centralized by somehow tanking other instances. This is impossible imo, but with this mindset, why not just use centralized platforms?
The fediverse is based on the fundamental philosophy of the network effect. Idea is that once the fediverse has a large enough user base existing outside of that is impossible.
I’m simply saying their are enough right wing and centre people who use social media that an isolated hard left echo camber cannot exist as an isolated island. Federation enables a true marketplace of ideas a true bastion of free speech. It is unstoppable it is inevitable. No instance shall centralise it but the majority of the people who use the internet expect to be able to interact with other using it.
A majority of users on politically neutral instances will kill isolated extremists who don’t federate. lemmy.world and lemm.ee where the first to prove that and its only going to grow. Information craves freedom and censorship will always lose.
That’s a good point tbh. Not like it’s going to “kill” them or whatever, but the idea I read in your post, is that right-wing instances are more likely to remain federated with neutral instances than left-wing instances are to remain federated with neutral instances. I hope it’s gonna kick some of those leftists in the ass to get back some of their classical libertarian values like free speech, because what they’re doing right now is truly suicidal.
Exactly. I have a feeling they gonna have to learn the hard way. Mind u the left suddenly cares about free speech again since the right figured out how to cancel people.
right wing only threads, forums usually dont survive, because they need to constant attack “the enemy” to stay relevant, cant have that if everyone just agrees with you all the time.
The hubris to think this is unique to the right.

I mean, obviously you’re wrong…
I just don’t understand why lemmy.world admins keep federating with troll instances.
