TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 1 week agoSorry, 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.

There’s also slow growth vs. extreme growth. I do want Lemmy/Piefed to grow but I don’t think its ideal or realistic to expect or project it ever getting to Reddit size.
