let’s address the possibility that like mastodon/matrix 99% of ppl will flock to the biggest handful of servers

What is the real value of decentralization given that? Outside of like political unrest.

And what role do small servers really do in that landscape? Obv “novelty” servers like midov cater to the like lolicon enthusiasts and I’m sure there are a few other servers dedicated to illegal things. Regional severs are quite compatible with various nationalists/patriots

    Do you see many people staying on their own small instances? Im new to the platform, but seeing the overload to the lemmy.ml instance I decided to spin up my own instance, and dont see why I would change. Is there sth I’m missing?
