You want to defederate from the largest Lemmy instance, the poster child, and the mascot of Lemmy? Good luck. They are Lemmy now.

The way .world has dominated is problematic for federation, honestly.

I agree, but it's too late now. Even Sync defaults to the .world instance, and at this rate, they'll only grow bigger.

Yeah it won't happen on its own, there would need to be a concentrated effort to oppose .world domination at this point.

It won't be a problem until .world starts demanding mutual defederation (i.e. instances federated with .world have to pledge to defederate from instances .world deems problematic)
