This topic is of extreme importance to the success of widespread adoption of the fediverse.
And I’m not seeing much discussion about it, despite having posted about it elsewhere, As an aside, I can’t atm log in to the account where I brought this up, due to instability, or maybe a ddos. No telling, but that I can’t log in shows a weakness that the general users won’t tolerate. I suspect I’ve lost another account, along with the community I created and the attendant work, when a fmhy.ml went offline.
While non-tech people will come, there’s a good chance they’ll leave when lemmy.fmhy.ml, for example, disappears, taking their community and all their contributions with it.
There are many reasons why servers and domains will evaporate. And users will emigrate from an unstable, unreliable environment.
Redundancy and backup are critical. Maybe p2p is the solution, I don’t know. The fix is above my pay grade.
But this weakness will be exploited. Pissed off instance owners, blackhats working for moneyed interests to whom the fediverse represents a multi-billion dollar threat, drive failures, lightning strikes, the ‘how’ doesn’t matter. It’s simply a matter of ‘when,’ and what will result.
This concept must become more resilient in order to be viable over the long term.
Since it’ll take the cock and pullet, your point checks out.
