The number is based on how many people are needed, not how many there are with such a skillset.
It is hilarious that you assume that there are not one in a thousand with such a skillset as spinning up a a small fediverse instance on a cloud host takes literally one afternoon and anyone that knows how to use a computer can learn the needed skills in less than a week.
But I can easily proof that there are enough people willing and able to do this, as right now there are more than enough small Lemmy instances online to take over all of the Lemmy.world users if each of them had about 1000 members. You can easily look it up yourself.
The problem is uninformed users like you that flock to the largest instances and thus actively repeat the same mistake they already did on Reddit.
if you really think that, i am happy i am not on your instance 🤣
no, you can't
well thank you for your permission.
there is at this moment 532 instances with open signup - https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list
so while your statement is technically true and that would be enough to take in 126k lemmy.world users in your arbitrary ratio, it is not enough to take in the 1,1M total lemmy users. this is quite illustrative to your creative approach to facts.
and all ofthis is not accounting for the fact that if you sort the instances by uptime, the list starts at 65%. are these the people who obtained their admin skills during 1 week crash course?
and to be clear i am not trying to insult anyone for having a toy and learning new skill, but these are simply not instances for public use.
also let me remind you, that even if you somehow managed to prove this nonsense you are trying to prove, it would in no way help you to establish your original claim:
you chose weird hill to die on and i wish you good luck with it. you don't have to reply to this, i don't think that further debate between us can bring any utility to either one of us.
