7/ In contrast, the #Fediverse (including #Mastodon ) uses a "Distributed" approach. Each node is more or less equal in function, and even if one or more of the major nodes goes down, the rest could still go on without any interruption.

(For example, I currently follow 3496 accounts, of which 555 are on Mastodon.social, the biggest instance. So losing my connection to Mastodon.social _would_ be painful, but I would still be able to maintain my connections to 85% of all the accounts I am following.)
