let’s address the possibility that like mastodon/matrix 99% of ppl will flock to the biggest handful of servers

What is the real value of decentralization given that? Outside of like political unrest.

And what role do small servers really do in that landscape? Obv “novelty” servers like midov cater to the like lolicon enthusiasts and I’m sure there are a few other servers dedicated to illegal things. Regional severs are quite compatible with various nationalists/patriots

    I really think regional is the way to go. On reddit I mainly used local subreddits so it’s awesome that we have lemmy.ca. Then with federation you can go view any content in the world.

    That being said I understand the need for “larger” instances that are more generalized and for bigger conversations.
