Are you trying to push this community into irrelevance?

Are you? Why would you advocate to promote a centrally-hosted bigger community than this one, within this one, if not to push this community into irrelevance?

All of these communities are either abandoned, unused, or from lemmygrad, and you suggest we replace existing connections to bigger communities with these?!

Are you suggesting that it’s conducive to anarchy to concentrate power in a centralised place?!

I very much hope you were kidding with that Facebook comment because I can’t understand sarcasm over the web and if you aren’t kidding then you’ve just shown a great lack of understanding of why we’re here on lemmy in the first place.

If you think lemmy is intended for concentrations of centralised power in one place, we indeed have different understandings of why “we” are on Lemmy in the first place.

Indeed a mass migration of people recently left centralised walled-gardens, often due to a single event like a notoriously bad decision by Musk or Zuck. Very few grasp the decentralisation principle and simply want to flock to get away from whatever event triggered them.

But that “we” you speak of is not a collective whole with a single reason. Those of us who were using Lemmy since 2019ish (and GNU social since much earlier) came to build communities from the ground up that decentralise resources and control. Meta, Twitter, Cloudflare (e.g. Lemmy.world), Microsoft, etc are the antithisis of why the fediverse exists.
