It’s not like my account is that important. I have the same account on different instances so when one has technical problems, I just use the other. Just copied the settings over. Not like I need to be able to go through all my history much.

BYOI

Sure, but the network itself is still there and still running, and I can still use it (albeit with some disruption).

The point is though, that as long as it’s not dependent on a single instance, enshittification isn’t the inevitable end state.

And for me, despite the usability issues of the fediverse instance based method, it’s a better alternative than joining and losing another social media network to gradual enshittification and slack moderation
