1. There should be a maximum cap of 500k users (maybe less) on all instances because:

    • The whole point of this website is decentralization. No single instance should become too big, and currently, Lemmy has more than 1500 users.
    • By limiting the number of users on each instance, it helps distribute the load and prevents overwhelming a single server. Additionally, it can also help reduce the cost associated with hosting a large number of users on a single server.

  2. We should get rid of the downvote and karma system because:

    • Downvotes discourage unpopular opinions.
    • and some people care about imagery internet point so they post low quality content.
    1. How about user level instance blocking rather than admin level instance blocking?

Also i am unable to choose between connect and liftoff what you guys using?

    1. I think this should be a cultural change and not a hard-coded one. I would like no more than a third of users on any instance for resistance to hacks and corruption etc.

    2. I agree. I’d like to see at minimum downvotes hidden for 1 hour on comments.

    3. I think they are adding that eventually if it’s not already implemented.

    I wonder if it’s possible to have communities that are read only to outsider instances or fully private to be seen only by the host instance?
