@Sirsquid @gamingonlinux Another aspect of the #fediverse I've been following is the #overhead - time, cost - of operating an instance: it can be a killer.

Keeping costs down is good for the fediverse, so it is less inclined to need #CorporateMoney.

The more we demand of the #fediverse to behave the way we'd become accustomed based on our experiences on #CentralizedSystems (like the birdsite), the higher the cost, which is an existential threat.
