ActivityPub and Mastodon brought new incentives into the world of decentralised communication platforms, even so far as I would call it a serious alternative to platforms like Twitter. But all efforts made by hundreds of individuals every day – administrating servers, developing software and moderating communities – have a weak spot which needs to be addressed in the near future: who has control over the underlying computing infrastructure of the Fediverse? And are users aware of the conditions?
I don’t see how this is a problem. This is to be expected and not ideal, but very hard to solve and already 100 times better than the alternative
I don’t think many Fediverse users are aware of it and with more awareness it is actually not that hard to solve.
