Honestly we'd better picking another main instance from scratch. lemmy.ml is federated with a cesspool of russian shills (lemmygrad) and we don't need this, we really don't need them. Nevermind how many people can register on our new instance, more redditors can start new instances as time goes one and still connect to the communities (subs) on our new one. In a way we don't completely escape federation.
The bonus is that if the admins of the new instance go reddit-crazy, we always have the possibility of picking another instance as the main one.
You bring up an interesting point and it's something that I've been wondering since I learned about lemmy and the federated structure; will it end up being more or less susceptible to bots and bad actors than reddit? I don't have a prediction, I really don't know. But if even a small percentage of the reddit userbase migrates and sticks around we're going to find out because it's going to become a target.
