    Well in a way yes but that’s how the federation/decentralization works. It’s like with email everyone gets a copy and if a message doesn’t go through to someone it can be redelivered.

    Centralized services are usually more efficient than decentralized but that’s not the primary goal of the fediverse

      My main concern with this is, if only a handful of centralized social network reached long term stability, and most of them are unprofitable, how can Lemmy (or any other foss fediverse project) completely hold itself on 2 unpaid developers and immense unpaid work from volunteers in the long run.

      Because ok, Lemmy.world is looking for experienced sysadmin and that post already had a little backslash, but this isn’t sustainable long term, it’s impossibile to keep scaling like that.

      And I feel that’s one of the biggest reasons holding back the fediverse
