    And with enough federated servers in the network they could never hope to have the reach of things like Lemmy and Mastodon. Server costs would be massively spread out instead of reliant on one corporation.

      It’s even possible to run it on old PC that wasn’t used long ago, so everything will be good as long as community exist

      pretty much. never underestimate the will of the at home datacentre crowd, with muliple last gen enterprise servers, decades of sysadmin experience and business+ class internet connections to feed their tech addiction.

      I expect a nice little swarm of small to medium capacity instances popping up hidden behind cloud load balancers and Tor onion services very soon.

      this cant replace a near boundless elastic cloud setup, but it is much more in line with the ethos I am down with and should provide some of what we need to keep things going.
