I think that people would be rooting for freedom but here we are having this conversation. My account at Lemmy has years, I’m one of those that has no such frictions and tested Lemmy long time ago when was said that it was the return of Jesus. I agree people will be kind of stuck at Lemmy, for a brief moment, just until some trend shows up and there they go again, that’s why they are here in the first place. I bet 99% of this influx will go back to Reddit like many of those that are back at Twitter. Most people couldn’t care less what’s happening at Reddit, Twitter or anywhere else. They will just get used to the official app and be done with it. Btw, care to explain why people would stay at Lemmy over Reddit? You mention friction, what else?

I think owning our accounts would be actually good and saving a key pair is as simple as saving a password. Also, the server wouldn’t be going down because there would be no servers.

Nowadays doesn’t even make any sense to use servers. Everyone already have decent computers and/or smartphones able to host their own content (text) and their friends content. Doesn’t require much. Why not create something better? We already have decentralized finance but we still using centralized social networks. How’s this possible?!
Really? There’s what… dozens of thousands of accounts on the main server alone? That’s centralization. Decentralization is when there’s no servers and you own your data. For example, Manyverse using SSB (Secure Scuttlebutt) protocol, is trully decentralized, has a thing called Pubs but it’s optional. Also works offline, via WiFi, etc.

Any tech has its ups and downs. My first comment said in other words, the user and it’s followers would host the content. Also having a cell plan is already a problem for many people but with SSB you can update your feed while online, see and comment offline, then upload those comments and your new posts when you finally go online again. Can you do that with Lemmy, Reddit… nope.

You’re saying that p2p is another type of centralization? Care to explain?
