Tell me one single instance of .would admins not just copying reddit in terms of being a shit instance.

I Dont get all the people downvoting, .ml is literally the best instance to filter out all the Nazis coming from reddit and twitter

I want lemmy to be decentralised, so it can benefit from the decentralisation that Lemmy offers. It can be as big as you want, but if only one instance houses 95% of all users, then why even use a decentralised Service when you can just use reddit?

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.

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”.

I use gentoo, so im better than you /s

Its a suprise to me that there were even people doing that.
