When the choices are "devote hundreds of hours to trying to manage direct democracy for one single communication system out of a dozen I use in an ecosystem where the tooling is actively not supporting good outcomes" that's... really not great? I already run a web and email server and I'm well aware that this is already a very dumb choice, adding not-well-hardened complex, heavyweight services that I need to deal with HA for is wildly more expensive than any reasonable payment into an established instance. That's why I'm here, on a server where a bunch of my professional community is local. A bunch of small instances are also blocked any large instance, either for the mods not reading every post and instead relying on reports (laughably unscalable), or simply because they're large. Which means eventually they'll block any instance that allows people to just sign up. Fragmentation and the governance and technical structures that encourage it as a first resort are a critical vulnerability to the health of the ecosystem.
