Not just speaking technically but economically. As user number mount up their post is just going to add up. I know instaces may distribute user, but server space isn't going to go down for anyone. It just seems like built to fall.

Great read, my only problem with publishing content on own domain is it gives power to those who can afford to pay for website and hosting. Internet should be democratic, and only way to do that is to make it accessible, but I also want to see more people owning their creation.

I'd love to see cooperatives where people pay some monthly amount to support a server that's democratically administered. To benefit from economies of scale while still having a say in how things are run.
