:money_with_wings: Real Toot: There'll be no fancy network with many users but without some kind of monetary background. :money_with_wings:
So are there so far any instances run by trustworthy organizations with structural and financial background to keep running with many users for a long time?
e.g. Chaos Computer Club or Quadrature du net
I guess you don't need millions, but i would love to see instances that don't depend on one guy and his likability to keep the instance running and up to date.
It could also be a club or an organization that then uses it's instance for it's own communication. Maybe a Union?
historically, web infrastructure was often provided first by universities. Hell, even facebook started out like that. Not the best example, but at least they usually have money, structure and some kind of ethical background.
But even if stable and trustworthy instances start to appear, we still cant really migrate our accounts to them. We have to abandon the ones we use now and start new, only with imported followings. I fear many users will be lost in that process, because it's not convenient for people used to simple one click solutions like facebook or google.
@Magnapinna This is the curse of new tech adoption. You can tell the pioneers since they are the ones with the arrows in their backs.
