I’m here because it’s eventually going to be the better alternative.

FOSS by its nature, will keep on improving. And proprietary bloatware, by its nature, will only gonna get worse.

    Your account credentials are the keys to your house, you can only enter to your own house (server/instance) with your keys, but can watch through everyone’s window (the owner of your house can block some specific windows tho).

    So your second assessment is correct, and yeah I think if the server goes down your data in that instance may be lost. It shouldn’t pass long time before some migration account feature (mastodon already has one).
