No man made organization is infallible. Due to Lemmy’s decentralized nature though it’s objectively more difficult. Astroturfing or completely co-opting all possible instances would be quite an impressive feat.

You don’t need to, you only need to go after the large ones. I’m already on my third instance, and having to move is such a giant pain in the ass, I don’t think I’d do it again.

What motivated you to switch instances? Did your early ones fill up with junk posts etc? I was thinking that since I use a reader app (Boost for Lemmy) and everything is federated it wouldn’t matter much if I joined one of the large and general-purpose instances.
Or was it more about performance issues… service/instance traffic overload leading to slow response time?

Performance issues, which of course is the issue with federation. Sometimes it was my instance having issues, other times it was the instance I was posting too. One of them defederated from a large one and didn’t allow downvoting, which I would forget via a third party app and it would hang before erroring out.
