    All those users are from different instances. That’s decentralized.

    If this community goes down or is otherwise not viable anymore, users can easily find another, similar community, while not having to switch to a different platform or instance or whatever themselves. That’s how this is supposed to work.

    Decentralization with different larger communities on different instances, with community members from all kinds of different instances, baby!

      It only works if you can bring your block list with you. That’s the only thing of value attached to my profile.

        You can, it’s easy and quick. I just exported my profile settings (builtin to the default lemmy.world web UI) to a json file in a couple seconds. Confirmed it contains blocked users and communities.
