I didn't say extremist I said toxic but really anyone who's poorly socialized will go where they're allowed, which in Lemmy terms means general catch-all instances with loose moderation like .world and .ml.
If they choose to migrate to another instance, it will likely be a more extremist instance with poor moderation that has been significantly defederated.
In theory this is how it should work, but in practice the toxic people tend to move to general purpose more laissez-faire places like .world or .ml, which makes de-federating and cutting off 30% of all users a difficult decision for anyone trying to have a community.
The answer is less centralization, but that can't be forced. beehaw.org (for example) made the decision to cut off .world and they are better for it. But they are a large-ish instance in their own right.
"[The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars] featured the last screen performances of actors DeForest Kelley, Thurl Ravenscroft, Paddi Edwards and Carol Channing, who died in 1999, 2005, and 2019, respectively."
This is some excellent work, I do not know if I am proud or ashamed that I immediately knew it was the "teddy bear" moment. Sorry I did not see this sooner and save you the effort 😂
Oh yes for sure, but at the same time if there is an instance that allows it's users to "be as crazy as you want" that instance will likely be de-federated from a lot.

Is this example actually real or is it made up?
