MODERATORS
On lemmy, you could literally just start the same community on another server. If other people agree with you about space, the new community will become the "default" one. don't really think anybody even has the ability to become "too powerful" because they are neutered the instant the base url changes.
Yes, some people complain about duplicate communities but it's a feature not a bug - it provides redundancy, they can have different spins on the topic and evolution can be at work (badly run a community and it will wither and die while others thrive).
Once we have "multicommunities" it really won't matter if there are similar communities on different instances, once grouped you may not even notice which instance it's on without checking. So we'll have all the pros and few of the cons.
