I get the impression that we’re headed for the same issues that pop up when we put all our eggs in one basket with Reddit/FB/whatever. People flock to the largest instance, and someday that instance could go down due to cost or the host losing interest....
As a user, if the instance I originally joined is shutdown - I would want a feature that lets me easily transfer my account and data to another instance. But not sure how this would work considering right now I could go make an account with my username in a different instance…
Wouldn't the fediverse work better if it was like a drive array rather than independent communities on independent servers?
