it would be really nice if Lemmy.world closed their registrations and ability to create new communities so other instances could catch up...

Their failure to do so is inherently their statement to the decentralised nature of the fediverse, that being „Fuck you people, we are the next reddit, and y'all are just trash”.
Heh Heh, Oh wait you are being serious huh
So you DON'T want Lemmy to be as popular/big as reddit ??

that would just confuse ppl trying to sign up, theyd think the whole forum is closed
Yes, it would, but it would be a good thing.
As a metaphor: you don't make Linux the next big thing by copying windows, because it is not windows. The same way you can't become the next reddit, if you just copy reddit and hope all the people won't be confronted with the decentralised nature of the fediverse. You will loose just about all non tech savvy people if (or more when) .world will be banned because they will think that Lemmy as a whole is now banned. And even if they don't get banned by america, if the mods on world turn out as fascists, or if they turn world into the next reddit and start milking their userbase for money, those non tech savvy people will not know that other instances exist, so they will once again just live in their parallel society on world.
If you want Lemmy to be a centralised website, just go to reddit.
No it wouldn't be really nice, plus Beehaw, ShitJustWorks, Blahaj are big enough

Top 20 most active communities say otherwise: https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active
I said "big enough" & no one's stopping them from migrating to Other instances

Alas, people are flocking to that garbage corporate owned bluesky instead of using mastodon :(

Should be "no known corporate" tracking or something along those lines.
By interacting with social media, you are creating a trail, such as I do now.
But in the fediverse, no known entity is granted access to that data as a business model or known force.
There is a certain "if Jim from up the street can read it, everyone can" factor.
But, on Facetube or Youbook, they know how long to the millisecond something is on screen, so not only what you've posted yourself but what you've paid attention to and how much. They're watching you even when you think you're not transmitting anything.

So next up We need to improve PeerTube (Or Odysee)
And post banned on that subreddit for mentioning a r*ddit alternative in 3... 2... 1...
Not sure if LW is the best choice as for some people it's very slow: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/36299751
Works great for me!
Europe or America?
America. I use Voyager.
Interesting, thanks
I'm all in for fediverse.
Edit: nvm
What I want to say is
Drop the "Free Speech" narrative
~~Nah. There's no "freedom of speech"~~
~~There's more freedom, not not really true free speech~~
~~Want real freedom of speech? Go on Briar Public Forums.~~
~~You can say things like "Kill [insert name of prominent individual here]" and your comments will stay up.~~
~~There is zero censorship.~~
~~The down side is that, the userbase is like less than 100 (I assume) and there's barely any activity.~~
@IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol @spaduf Have fun in a Nazi-bar
Ew fuck nazis. My point is, stop advocating for nazis to come here. We don't want "free speech", we want a safe space for non-fascists. Don't advertise it as "free speech" because thats not what this place is.
This graphic is simple and great. This is what most people are going to want to know.
