In light of lemmy.world's pre-emptive defederation of hexbear, would anyone support defederating lemmy.world? (lemmy.ml)

I feel like it’s been so active because app developers almost all default to lemmy.world. It’s a bit concerning honestly, I wish things were a bit more spread out because everyone is at the mercy of Lemmy world and as we’ve seen several times it doesn’t look like the admins of the instance are making decisions based on community feedback.

I suspect most people who joined Lemmy ended up on .world because they would have gone here first:

https://join-lemmy.org/

For a while Lemmy.World was one of the first ones you came across; between that, the open signups and the “general purpose” moniker, rapid growth was probably inevitable.

Add the fact that lemmy.ml and others were/still are doing applications for sign up instead of an automated system. I applied twice for a .ml account and never got a single response, not even a denial or "your application is being processed". I have no idea if my application was ever even seen.

On the other hand, I signed up to lemmy.world and kbin.social in minutes and have been using them ever since.

I was tempted to join .ml but the banner at the top of the application form was discouraging. Went to .world and here we are.

Yeah, it felt a lot like "you need to prove you're worthy" more than just proving you're not a bot.
