There are instances that federate together as a single sort of entity.

So, are there other entities? Meaning, is there a group of Lemmy instances somewhere outside of the existing ones we see here?

And, how do I get there, and which one don’t have people from the USA?

can't have your cake and eat it too. the way federation works means bigger instances will always have more influence, but it's a double edged sword. They cannot defederate from everything or it just turns into a normal centralized reddit knockoff, so the best thing to do is not to give in to their demands, if it gets bad enough the users will move; something else will become the next "flagship instance".

nothing is exactly stopping you from jumping instances each time until you find someone that does not care for petty cross-site drama. username and comment history goes bust, but maybe that's a good thing; less traceability.

I guess I’ll just keep on getting a new account every two weeks like I have done for the past 3 years 😂
