@evan Thanks Evan for exploring this and thinking about it. I wasn't aware that the fediverse at present has this very distinctive shape - actually somewhat similar to the ATmosphere with its one huge instance and a couple of smaller ones. I don't have any thoughts cos I'm a novice here but I appreciate knowing more.

@Mastodon I was supporting you via Patreon at £1/month but had to change the Patreon account I'm using. I was planning to increase the amount to £2 but now I find I can't support you for less than £6.50/mth, which is too much for my budget. But I really want to continue to support you. How can I give less than £6/50/mth?

"Google's capacity to defenstrate all of us, and the enormous cost we all bear if Google does so, has been carefully engineered into the system. Same goes for Apple, Microsoft, Adobe and anyone else who traps us in their silos. The lesson of the Crowdstrike catastrophe isn't merely that our IT systems are brittle and riddled with single points of failure: it's that these failure-points can be tripped deliberately, and that doing so could be in a company's best interests, no matter how devastating it would be to you or me."
