There’s also less complexity for a centralised system, since you don’t have a big confusing mess having to learn which server you want to sign up with, how that impacts what you see, and how you connect with other servers.
It’s one of the downsides of Lemmy, since people get completely boggled over their heads, and either jump to the biggest Instances that they can find (assuming that the servers are basically completely separate), or give up on it entirely because it’s too confusing when you just want something simple and straightforward.

I was impacted by the closing of mastodon.lol and I never recovered either my follow count, or frankly my interest and engagement in the platform since. I’m not alone, either. The ‘migration’ behavior was half baked at best, giving me what equates to a 301, not much else. There’s a lot of work to be done here.
I am the most active on Threads for my brand account, and my personal account on Mastodon is a distant second.

If you are running a business account you really should be using your own mastodon server.

And poof! There goes the appeal.

Yeah, sure, being the absolute authority on moderation for your content is real unappealing to businesses

Agreed, but it is a cost.
