Curious, coming from a LW account
I'm not a LW fan. In my opinion, they are doing any % speedrun on how to become as bad as Reddit and succeeding admirably.
With that said, I don't hate on LW users. Most of them are probably unaware of the moderator issues from their own instance and are just looking for content.
I don't think it was meant to be an insult to lemmy.world or its users. The post you're replying to is just pointing out some contradiction between a user agreeing with the need to spread out on the fediverse, while doing so by posting from one of the most stacked instances.
Yes, thank you
Why are you curious. On a decentralized platform, It matters where you post TO, not where you post FROM. Anybody can easily switch to posting from another platform.
I see where you come from, but using one instance still makes it active, encouraging new joiners looking for an instance to join it too.
LW got so popular because it had most of the users at some point, and that only went further over time.
