Same with Facebook, YouTube, etc. is that highly unlikely? Well, yeah, but still nonzero. The fediverse offers resiliency in this regard, and no one person has the ability to shut it down. Even if all instances decide to shut down, new instances can still be spun up.
If the communities you like to read and post to are down, then Fediverse is effectively down for you. Thus it doesn’t offer any additional resilience, it’s not a P2P system.
Just because anti-lock brakes fail to work in all scenarios doesn’t mean they’re not still an improvement.
Lemmy is still up for most people. That is resilience. If you are affected by this outage, then it failed for you in this particular case but that doesn’t mean the mechanisms don’t exist and that they won’t work to your advantage in the future.
Resiliency is the strongpoint.
If Reddit shuts down, all of Reddit dies.

ABS works in all scenarios.
can fediverse be P2P like i2p?
Fediverse - yes. Lemmy - no. At least not in its current state.
