    I don’t really consider infosec.pub to be a “major” instance, it’s only at ~300 MAUs iirc, by “major” I’m thinking .world or SJW or blahaj

    In any case, I’m almost positive I’ve seen it mentioned publicly in one of those big threads, maybe the donation ones a few months back. It was also told to me point blank by an admin of one of said major instances in a DM, but I am unsure how or even if I can release that considering it was told to me in private

        What truly matters is that major instances have this fear to begin with, not whether or not it will happen.

          Then why don’t those admins switch to Piefed if that’s a fear? It’s been around for a while now, and it works as well as Lemmy.

          While we are talking, why haven’t you switched to a Piefed account yourself?

            Probably because it’s not easy to transfer entire instances? I don’t know dude.

            I don’t care to switch. Lemmy is dead

        So there are a few possible reasons I can see with this

        1. The fear is truly unfounded
        2. The fear is founded, but .cafe being so small, he doesn’t care to lend a hand and can use it for examples should this fear conversation become more serious. Dessalines is a lot of things, but he’s not dumb
        3. The fear is founded, but because it’s an issue that could potentially affect any instance large or small they decided to deal with it. Vs say if .world decided to defederate and then ran into an issue that mostly just affected them because of their size, maybe they’ll “give the run around” instead or ignore the issue until it affects an instance they care about

      If such comment was made it would have probably created a lot of dedicated posts

      If an admin of any instance got threatened that way they should probably release the evidence as this would probably encourage people to move to Piefed.

        Sorry if I phrased it weirdly, I didn’t mean to imply that threats had been made (which I mean, dessalines is smarter than that, because like you said it would blow the Lemmy-verse up if he actually made a threat), but rather it’s a fear that’s out there.

        But like I said, I have confirmation of that fear in a DM from a major instance admin. Whether or not that fear is founded and justified or not, is up for debate. But it exists and it’s a factor in the decision making process

          Then why doesn’t that admin switch their instance to Piefed? It’s been stable for a while now
