Comment on Why the Fediverse is not (yet) Billionaire-Proof, or: The 51% Attack for the Fediverse

I think we need a way to have lemmy handle “netsplits” more like IRC and less like “community went poof”. IDK if people are working on this (making the communities distributed), but I think there are existing technical solutions that can be leveraged if the devs don’t want to solve it themselves.

I’ve seen some active instances die due to admin neglect (not paying the bills, for instance), and I’ve wondered how those communities have fared since, since they’d have to start over elsewhere, and without all the content and history from their origin server. Same goes with user accounts too.
