       @evanprodromou the problem with ActivityPub is that it places the owner of the instance at the center of the entire network, making users fully dependent on the owners or moderators

       @constantine @evanprodromou That's a feature, not a bug. Literally anyone can own an instance.You can install Open Source software like Mastodon or Pleroma on a cloud service like AWS.You can get a turnkey server from https://masto.host/Or you can join a cooperative like social.coop or cosocial.ca, and have shared ownership with other like-minded people.

       @constantine @evanprodromou or you can use a free ad-supported account from Threads or others.Or a free account from a volunteer group or even a generous individual.You have so many choices for server governance on the Fediverse, it's not even funny.

       @constantine @evanprodromou I almost forgot getting an account from your employer or university, or from a local or regional government!
