If everyone was spread out onto different instances, and communities were based all over the fediverse, the decisions of one instance would be less impactful.

I do still see value in a general landing page for new lemmy users, but this whole thing has really shown me that it should not be anything like this. .ml and .world have done a lot of work becoming the "big" instances and now they have a taste for censorship (and have most the users) I doubt it will get better.
I don't know how federation works in detail, but I really hope it's like torrenting where peers introduce each other. That way if one person decides to defederate with an instance it's a decision that only applies to him. If anybody else is federated then the connection information is available to all. i.e. the network heals around damage.
I have no problem with someone constructing a bubble for themselves, but they don't get to say what's in my bubble.
well they just told 100k people what will be in their bubble....
