There's no perfect solution but I certainly didn't move to a decentralized platform only to see it be intentionally centralized through inaction.
The quantity of users on Lemmy I still consider to be pretty low, the performance bugs need to be addressed on a big server. Bugs like not having a WHERE clause on an UPDATE hitting 1500 rows in a table (one row per server) instead of 1 single row... these need to be shaken out.
The errors of the overload themselves have been a way to throttle growth of the big servers. People were not able to insert new posts and comments into Lemmy.ml - reducing outbound federation activity too, and they went to other servers. This went on all of June and July.
