While I am happy about all the publicity federation is getting, it seems this is also the time to reduce over-reliance on one instance (mastodon.social, for example) as it will bring a hangover of the bird-site. Technical federation is one step. Social communities to nurture these instances is a more tasking ask, but far more stronger in fighting against monopoly.
Agree. I plan to move my account from mastodon.social to somwhere else. (just need to stop being lazy)
I wonder if there are any in-person communities that support an instance, and how that fares, compared to loose online connection that is here today, gone tomorrow.
Lemmy would be great for that. Already has all the configs so you can make the instance private and use the registration application for access codewords.
