If a CDN becomes too big the result is a just another #centralisation problem. Again, censorship and suppression at scale in the form of denial of serving content like #images and #videos is possible.
The #TooBigToExist CDN can also begin to gather data on users, for example when they are accessing the content and what content do they tend to look at etc.
The very nature of the #legacyInternet is unworkable. Alternatives like #I2P and Tor exist.

Even worse is that some instances are using (Sc)amazon or Cloudflare to serve content.
We need to find ways to resist this.
People who operate sites dedicated to listing #fediverseInstances are welcome to contact us and ask us to do an assessment of instances they list. We are happy to volunteer to do this.
Knowledge is #power, and we need to remain as vigilant as ever to ensure the power remains #distributed.
