    For the health of the internet you want people scattered across millions of websites

    And the need for regulations that limit active users isn’t a reason to contribute further to the problem

    Preventing congregation weakens the effectiveness of disinformation and propaganda campaigns, and protects against bullying

      I don’t understand this point. Federation brings everyone together. I don’t understand why it’s bad for everyone to spread out.

      This is a contradiction. This is an argument for having everyone decentralized rather then together in massive content silos.

        Yes, if everyone is together it is much easier for misinformation to spread

        If a Russian content farm was to try and get a message out would it be easier if they made one post seen by millions or thousands of posts seen by a few thousand people

        Even Lemmy mods know federation is a bad thing because their answer to preventing the above is defederating
