What's happens if, like mastodon and matrix, 99% of ppl only use the handful of the biggest Lemmy servers? (lemmy.perthchat.org)

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

This is still so new for most folks, they’re gonna want it to be as easy as possible at first.

Email uses the same general federation. 😛 Ex Gmail, Hotmail, yahoo

migrate accounts to different servers. Is that right

There's talk about it for Lemmy and matrix/element iirc, but it's implemented in neither

I'm not talking about the backend. Average users care about the user experience.
