Likely relevant with the increasing size of the Lemmy federation.

I theory yes, but looking at the way people in the Mastodon federation go about defederating entire instances and any instance that still federates with said instance because they don’t like some specific person’s opinion…

The concern arises when there is a certain very dense small group of instances that bullies the rest. I fail to see how a properly decentralized federated universe would suffer unintended consequences such as this particular scenario.
