I agree with all but #2 (mostly because that defeats the entire purpose of a decentralized platform) and #4 But I also believe that it can't go mainstream. If it did that would ruin what many went to these style platforms to avoid. I believe the same thing with the Lemmy as well, if it became mainstream, it'll just ruin what is already here. I can't say much on that though, since I was one of the "refugees" that came in around the time that the core ecosystem of lemmy started changing. So I'm sure some of the OG lemmy members feel the same about us. permalink fedilink source parent
