The source is fedipact, the people in favor of blocking. So blocked = good = green
You could call that biased, but i think its very reasonable.

What you should really take away from these numbers is that lemmy.world should close their registrations. If they dont, they should be seen as a bad actor trying to take majority control of the lemmyverse.

I agree but its a matter of framing. In safety systems green is safe and red is danger. This would fit here too.

Do you have any understanding of what fedipact is about? Obviously this not about software security dangers and rather about the danger that large commercial entities like meta bring to the longevity of a free fediverse.

People can choose what they want, but i want server admins to be aware of the possible negative impacts their own dominance might have.

Any one server should not have an interest in having many users, because there is no commercial benefit. If a server doesnt do anything against becoming a monopoly it either wants to have the ultimate power to moderate peoples speech or has hidden profit motives like selling their userbase to some company or running advertisements.

Large servers are the beginning of the end in a decentralized system that depends on having as much federation as possible.

If you defederate lemmy.world there is a huge drop in posts, but if you dont then the problem gets worse. If lemmy.world admins were to stop federating, half the lemmyverse collapses and even more people will move to an account on lemmy.world to keep their content source.

We dont even need meta/threads for these problems, any regular lemmy server can be the one that splits the userbase.
