    Probably as good a time as any to depart from lemmy.ml.

    If the devs / admins of lemmy.ml can’t be trusted and the admins of lemmy.world are abusive then it is safe to say the experiment called Lemmy has failed. There is no recovery from the top 2 instances which make up most of the “content” are not worth supporting. I could go to another instance and block lemmy.world and lemmy.ml once the BE 0.19.0 update rolls out, but then the site is just dead. It’s already pretty much like talking to the wind. but the site would be truly empty at that point.

    I started noticing the trend of instances defederating into little islands months ago, but it seems obvious at this point that it the concept of federation isn’t going to work out well. The easily self hostable part is still nice even if it eventually ends up as singular instances with maybe 1 or 2 federated connections that actually post things. There will be a lot of instances that have nothing, but I don’t think that really counts.
