Obviously there are also threats, but they are different threats than those that apply to centralized platforms. One of the threats, in fact, is centralization itself โ€” if people flock to a few gigantic instances, that creates a central point of failure, potentially.

But there are currently ~20k independently run fedi instances. Some had been running for a decade or longer.

As I said, we're here for the long run.
