Sure, but the way to do that isn't to create tons of general instances, but more specialized ones around a general topic. Lemmy.ml focuses on FOSS and Privacy, and Hexbear focuses on Leftist politics.
The question of the post/thread is whether the meme communities should all be merged on .ml and that's what I'm arguing against. I don't care when .ml people do .ml stuff on .ml. Just don't move everything there.
Sure, but your statement was that most people don't like Lemmy.ml, which is exaggerated at best.
I didn't say that, that's an exaggeration. Also, I was coping a comment above mine as a joke. But I still stand to my comment. It doesn't say "most people" but "all my homies"
I feel like that's getting into the weeds a bit, but whatever.
You put words into my mouth I never said and now you complain that it's getting into the weeds a bit, but whatever
I interpreted your comment as I thought it was meant, I don't think it was an unreasonable misinterpretation. "All my homies" in your comment was used in conjunction to saying a lot of people would be upset, now you're just implying it's only some people and your point makes less sense.
It doesn't matter though, which is why it's getting into the weeds. This conversation is pointless now.
But do you agree that it's a bad idea to merge all big meme communities to .ml? Which is what I was talking about all along. No matter if you misinterpret my point.
Also: I think it's alot of people who would be upset, even tho it's not most. Could you at least stick to your misinterpretation?
I think people need to drop the idea of having single communities, and instead have instances view comms more like categories on instances. Multicomms from federated instances are a good idea.
Took us a while to finally see we actually agree
Fun fact: As if to prove my point, my first comment was removed
