people will sell insurance for just about anything. for example, you can buy alien abduction insurance that will pay out if you are abducted by aliens.

It took me a while to accept cloud storage but I use it now. I backed up all of our family photos on Google photos.

I think that would defeat a piece of the point of a decentralized system. In the current design, what will naturally happen is that if one instance has all the good content on a particular topic, most users will gravitate toward it anyway. We can read across federated instances anyway so I, a kbin user, have no problem reading something on lemmy like this.

Then let’s say one day lemmyworld@lemmy.world gets taken over by people who want to post stuff I don’t want to see. If I miss how it used to be here, I could go make lemmyworld@kbin.social and it would be fine.

Post more content here and help make it less boring. More content will attract more users, which will result in more content. We need to grow the community.

Remember that in an interview, they mentioned that they used fake accounts early on to control the discourse on Reddit.

Not saying I have any proof they are doing that now, but it does show what they are willing to do to control the platform.
