@nvk @alanturing @jb55 Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. I really don't think there is enough traction right now to transition to a pile of independent servers - lots of less technical people on this instance, and it's a big overhead to set one up relative to the alternatives. More likely that Bitcoin mastodon will just die.
@drbitcoinmd @pete @nvk @alanturing @jb55 This is what I’m thinking. Don’t kill the network effect at this point. It’s such a turbulent, transitory time...a strong hitching post is needed right now. ‘Store of value’ before ‘medium of exchange’. Not a perfect analogy, but that’s what I think of.
@drbitcoinmd @pete @nvk @alanturing @jb55 honestly is mastodon the right long term solution anyway? IMO until we have a pure p2p worldwide mesh network (no backbone needed) we will be vulnerable. This instance is helpful as a stepping point. I would be very sad if it disappeared and like others said would probably just go elsewhere to find a community.
@pete @nvk @alanturing @jb55 100% this
The community is just starting to see the benefit of network effects from the influx of users. Making a move to independent instances would be a death blow.
