this seems to be a trend playing out.

i hope instances can come up with a more standardized methods of control that dont leave all the keys in a single humans hands. we know how unstable humans are.

Yeah like we could have a shared legal entity, say a corporation, controlling the servers 🤔 And they could instead of a single decisionmaker have a board. 🤔

Jokes aside, wouldn't this go against the federated idea? anyone can go and roll their own instance. Or take it down. Control is in the user's (of the software, that is, the instance owners) hands!

Even at its smallest form, a federated instance hosting a community likely needs more than one person acting as admin and mod. It may not be a for profit corporation, but there needs to be some kind of collective organization.
