If everyone was spread out onto different instances, and communities were based all over the fediverse, the decisions of one instance would be less impactful. (media.kbin.cafe)

Let's put things in perspective. Lemmy.world currently has a "whopping" 127k users. That's fewer users than the moderately successful niche subreddit I created on Reddit has, which is just one of several thousand subreddits over 127k in size. Not to mention the tens of thousands of Instagram, youtube, facebook, tiktok, etc., pages with more than 127k subscribers. Saying lemmy.world has "a lot of power" at this point seems like a real stretch to me.

The amount of power they have over the direction of Lemmy comes from the percentage of Lemmy users they have not the total user count.
