I don't use that spyware but it's probably the same as every tech bro Reddit like.

Everyone flocks to the one big "books" community and that sucks the air out for any alternative.

Lemmy's one thing going for it was that it's was supposed to be decentralized and prevent concentration of power.

But you end up with one big community, and a unaccountable minority owns that community and does what every they want with it. Just like Reddit, they can sell your grandmother, we know users don't care enough to do anything about it and they'll just stay. The 2nd biggest will never matter.

This means there isn't a lemmiverse books community, there is one big books community, on one person's server, moderated by one guy and his disciples and that's it forever as far as Lemmy is concerned, the same end as Reddit.
