    They don’t really have any more power than any other instance. Users can simply join another instance ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      If they choose not to federate with anybody, that community is basically dead.

        Oh, I wasn’t aware that they had defederated from everybody.

        Also, doesn’t affect me, right? Even if I had a lemmy.world account, it wouldn’t affect me because I could simply create an account on another instance, or create my own instance.

        Come to think of it, even if they defederate from everybody (as if that’s possible), they could still communicate with each other. I’m on several forums that are not part of the fediverse, and they’re not dead, so…
