    To be fair though, the chance that every Lemmy instance goes down at the same time is so much lower than Reddit going down. Sure, my instance might be unavailable, but I’d be able to hop onto the next one and continue.

      Considering the distributed nature of the fediverse, the only way I could imagine the entire thing going down is either a botched update that everyone somehow manages to install at once, or a very sophisticated distributed attack.

        The latter would be the most realistic as someone could find a way to poison the ActivityPub protocol or there’s a bug in it and then a message would go to all servers simultaneously.
