Gregory's Server@falcon @gracjan @nf3xn Sounds like you want the benefits of centralization in a decentralized system. However, I’d push back on the first point a bit. There is nothing stopping someone from creating r/anime and r/animeofficial. However, I question if these are truly big enough issues to stifle usage once it matures. Once you get enough federation, it feels like the real world impacts of these issues are minimal or nonexistent.

> There is nothing stopping someone from creating r/anime and r/animeofficial There's nothing, and it happens with new TV shows - Example, From (Paramount+). But when this happens, one of the communities ends up being the bigger one, and, since it's centralized, you know easily which one is bigger or more active. Which you wouldn't know in a decentralized environment, since your instance might not know about some other instance   @fishcharlie @falcon @gracjan the devs not the admins, the people who make the software. @fishcharlie @gracjan @nf3xn Even Mastodon doesn't have enough federation yet, so I still need to use mastodon(dot)social for doing searches once in a while. |

I don't. I never suggested a de-centralized alternative to Reddit. In fact, I was advocating that something decentralized would NOT be a replacement for Reddit exactly because it is decentralized.
