Yeah, when I first saw the community name my first thought was that it was about being sick of the endless vitriolic spam towards him. I didn’t even know there was ‘worship’ of him, much less to the point of feeling like spam - like you said, funny how echo chambers work.
I believe it is, yeah. I hear kbin.social’s servers are absolutely swamped right now and having lots of issues, so I don’t want to contribute to that, but I’m probably going to make a kbin instance my home soon. Does anyone know where to find a list of instances kbin.social has defederated?
Well if it’s a machine that’s 100% correct in its predictions obviously I’d take box B since that’d be a guaranteed billion - but assuming it’s fallible, I’d go with A+B. A million dollars is plenty of money, I don’t even know what I’d do with a billion.
‘Subscribed’ is called ‘Frontpage’ in the app, you can find it in the sidebar. Edit - oops, looks like kuro_neko beat me!
The main reason would be fracturing people who would be interested in joining across different communities - someone might find a few LGBT+ communities and miss others, same as if someone made another LGBT+ community here on lemmy.world which some people join instead of yours. Activity, content and visibility in these early days of Lemmy are kinda tough to get, and spreading out across instances makes it tougher.
But, of course you’re totally free to make your own community too! That’s part what makes federation so cool, if you’re unhappy with existing communities and/or their moderation you can always make your own, and people from anywhere else can join. Best of luck :)
I picked Rammy for the name and the sidebar:
