Well 25% is very strict, pretty sure mastodon.social is more than that for the Fediverse (I do wish other instances would grow faster to catch up)
But yea anything higher than 50% is kinda missing the point, ideally they would close signups and suggest people signup on alternative instances instead
99% isn’t the threshold. I’d say like 25% or less
Doesn’t LW control ~30% of the lemmyverse?
Lemmyverse != threadiverse
It controls ~30% of the threadiverse, then.
Where is that number coming from?
My head. Lemmy.world has 15,000 (roughly) monthly active users, the threadiverse has roughly 60,000 active users,
So 25%
15.5/36.3 is 43%
Data from Lemmy.world sidebar and fedidb.com

Majority share is too powerful
join-lemmy.org actually hides any instance that’s over 30% of Lemmy https://github.com/LemmyNet/joinlemmy-site/blob/main/src/shared/components/instances.tsx#L451-L456
Is that what you would actually expect Bluesky to do if they were committed to decentralization?
Bluesky traded good user distribution for growth.
I said “ideally”, but they probably would’ve done a lot of things differently if they were committed to decentralization
