Yeah, this is the fediverse's way of telling us to break our old habit of piling on a single site and to spread out.
Except...it's being DDOS'd, so no, it isn't.
If anything this is basically establishing to everyone out there that if you want to kill an instance or encourage people to move to a different one (with different admins who might have different..."styles"), just DDOS it and promote your alternative instance as a refuge.
I'm sticking with .world because the admins there are chill. Don't feel like rolling the dice on a new instance where some power mods probably set up shop.
You do you, but I wouldn't say that lemm.ee, sh.itjust.works, sopuli.xyz or reddthat.col are power mods
Particularly sh.itjust.works. They're letting the community vote on instance rules and the Admin is really chill
