Something I noticed a lot is that while the whole promise if the fediverse is decentralization, it’s not sustainable and very centralized at most.

In the last months I opened multiple accounts to use multiple fediverse services(Mastodon, Pleroma, Lemmy,… etc) and I chooses non-mainstream servers to test the decentralization of the fediverse.

Most of the servers that I opened account in to use got shutdown by the servers owners due to a lot of reasons( literally every server that got shutdown has it’s own specific reason, from financials to ideology and software).

From what I can see currently at least, the best approach to social media sites are either complete P2P(which comes with it’s own disadvantages, but it has a strong advantages to consider) or one centralized server.

    Did you read the whole post?

    My point is not that someone will shut down the fediverse, my point is that small and medium instances got shutdown within a year, what that leave us with, is a centralized big instance that does not use the fediverse and holds so much power.(think Lemmy.world/lemmy.ml)

    All this leads me to the conclusion that the superior options in this case as I keep saying is:

    • Complete P2P.
    • non-profit, opensource, centralized service/social media.

    (BTW, one of the benefits of the centralized service is easier moderation.)

        You don’t want to understand my points or argue with good faith.

        You just want to say fediverse is good any other option is bad and if I don’t agree then I should look elsewhere.

        The good news for you is that I am actually going to move to another service in a month, the bad news is you will keep pretending that the fediverse is perfect till you see the day where everything I just said and you ignored, is proven to be valid and truthful.

            You’re making good points, and I want to read them but, the terrible/lack of punctuation makes it so I have to read everything twice to understand what you’re saying… I mean this purely as constructive criticism because you seem like an intelligent person with intelligent points to convey.
