I wonder if there is a better way to distribute the upkeep of all the data. Like bittorrent has the swarm and crypto got random people using hardware to prop up the transaction network. Currently these single fediverse instances puts most of the burden on the hoster and becomes a single failure point for that instance.
Yeah that’s my only concern and why I stick with the major instances, for now. I know monetization for the sake of running the services is going to have to come at some point. I’m sure we’ll see a bunch of variations and approaches and I hope people are open to the ideas. I want the fediverse to grow and, for that to happen, we need to make sure it’s sustainable for the people who choose to help prop it up.

Some people just aren’t willing to pay anything unfortunately.
