Aren't there significant disadvantages to being on small instances?

@rzeta0 @acb @nelsonakis there not being is supposed to be the whole point of the fediverse.

Yes. Small instances regularly go away when the people running them get tired of doing so, and you lose all of your old posts when you move.

@richpuchalsky @rzeta0 @acb @nelsonakis the internet is ephemeral anyways. I'm on a small instance and I love it so much more than the other instance I was on. Could it one day go away? Sure. Any important post I make I usually keep in other places, and I wouldn't care to retrieve the rest of my posts, honestly the majority would be irrelevant when that happens, heck, they become irrelevant within weeks or even days. The internet moves fast, we can't cling to everything forever.
