    The technology is flawed. It gives a unjust amount of power to a few specific kinds of people.

    So does Twitter, YouTube and any other centralized platform. At least with Lemmy it’s not all concentrated in one place.

    The only way for decentralized platform to truly give power to the users is if every user stands up their own instance, which is unrealistic.

      That would work yes but it’s not the only solution. You need the user to have complete control of their account not the admin. Nostr works like this. So you can switch backends as easily as you want. The user exist as a private public key pair. You push and pull your content to and from multiple backends rather than to one backend ( that then pushes to other backends in the case of the fediverse. ).

      In the fediverse the admin blocks and bans users. In nostr it’s more like the users and admins have a more equal amount of power. The user can just listen to another instance.
