  Wait, I’m lost. You’re saying that most of the fediverse federating with each other has been detrimental?

    Sorry, I misspoke. The largest instances of lemmy are have been defederated, specifically world and ml.

    The only argument I’m making is that almost all defederation is negatively impactful to fediverse growth.

      I disagree if the defederated instances are maladaptive and export bad behaviour.

      In addition, I don’t think lemmy.world or lemmy.ml have been defederated by anyone notable. The only example of lemmy.world being defederated, that I know, is beehaw.org. And I believe that Beehaw.org isn’t interested in growth.

      The fediverse is not a single amorphous bloc with the same overall goals of growth.

        I mean, sure. I guess still people are on Fark. and Digg. And even still posting to Craigslist forums.

        And growth is a matter of survival. You don’t grow, you don’t survive.
