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.

    If the user chooses this option, then he/she (from what I witnessed by myself and seen) will have to create a new account every 3-6 months.

    I’m a member of an old school forum that has been running for 15 years. What is the difference with a Lemmy instance?

      I don’t want to sound like a d*#k but, ask the admins who shutdown their servers.
