That’s not the argument, please don’t trust it needlessly like that
The point is that having everything be on one instance results in the centralized abuse of power we saw with reddit
Per example: .world has some famously bad power mods (a certain soaring mollusk comes to mind) same as reddit, growing communities outside of that centralized area gives us a place to run when they finally snap completely, as is inevitable with power mods
