actually, the fediverse isn't about redundancy. It's about interoperability. Anyone being able to host their own "reddit" and still being able to communicate with the other "reddits".
And the interoperability does bring resilience to the whole, because if a part of the system goes down (or goes to sh_t), then it's only that part. But resilience is not quite the same as redundancy.
For redundancy you're more looking at something like nostr, which functions with relays that can replicate the content being posted from all users of the network.
