Something I noticed a lot is that while the whole promise if the fediverse is decentralization, it’s not sustainable and very centralized at most.

In the last months I opened multiple accounts to use multiple fediverse services(Mastodon, Pleroma, Lemmy,… etc) and I chooses non-mainstream servers to test the decentralization of the fediverse.

Most of the servers that I opened account in to use got shutdown by the servers owners due to a lot of reasons( literally every server that got shutdown has it’s own specific reason, from financials to ideology and software).

From what I can see currently at least, the best approach to social media sites are either complete P2P(which comes with it’s own disadvantages, but it has a strong advantages to consider) or one centralized server.

    The fediverse is P2P. You can host an instance only for yourself. Just like email.

    Non Profit centralized will not solve your problem because they can still fail or you can get banned if you do something stupid.
