Corporate online social networks ultimately aim to increase profits, so they inevitably enshitify themselves. Meanwhile, the federated system allows users to switch instances or even create their own should their current main instance become unappealing. It also allows users to join several instances simultaneously, allowing users to tailor their experiences based on purpose and privacy.

    There’s very little oversight mitigate propaganda and it’s immediately apparent after two minutes on Lemmy.

      all anyone does on lemmy is complain about hexbear, .ml, lemmygrad when they’re essentially sanctioned from the rest of Lemmy. There are so many instances that have defederated them and you cannot even respond to Linux post without being told to fuck off with a hexbear.net account. Like why do you feel the need to complain and yell at clouds. The entirety of liberal Lemmy is on board with you and you choose to be annoyed. So typical.

            That will solve the problem only for me. I want to see Lemmy survive as a healthy social media option.

              I think that more freedom is better for the network and every user and instance should choose for themselves what they want to see. But I agree with you that it should be easier to find an instance that suits your preferences, especially if you are not yet familiar with other instances
