I don’t understand how Lemmy.world developers managed to surpass both Lemmy.ml and Beehaw.org instances in user activity.

    Their stated reason being that currently they don’t feel like they have the moderation tools to remove rule breaking content should a bunch of bots and spammers flood in

    I feel like that’s reasonable. Lemmy is still in very active development, and still building up a lot of features. Also, their defederation isn’t meant to be permanent either

      People are switching now. If every instance took the beehaw approach, it would severely limit lemmy’s growth and it could miss its chance to become the next major link aggregator.

      From what I’ve seen, these sites are either it or they’re not it. The “network effect” of social media means content, users, and dev effort gravitates towards a single place.
