Honestly this is why I think fears of one instance growing too large are overblown. If Lemmy.ml pulls a reddit, then I’ll just move to beehaw. In fact I already have a lemmy.ml and a kbin.social account. I might make a beehaw anyway.
I guess, but a small price to pay. The point is the fediverse wouldn’t go away. Or my app of choice. I’ve abandoned reddit profiles before, so it’s NBD to me.

Right, but unless there’s a migration or backup process I’m unaware of, doesn’t your entire user history get torched if an instance goes down?

I didnt want my account on .ml so chose .ca to be smaller from the start.
Yeah, that’s why I chose Beehaw.
Beehaw is the second-largest instance according to the “Join a Server” page.
Side note: those user counts are drastically larger than they were two days ago.
May have been unclear. I chose Beehaw because I didn’t want to be on .ml, not because it was small.
