@craigmaloney I like the Fediverse in that every aspect of it is essentially ephemeral. It accepts information, connections and even every instance as transient. Like the ship of Theseus: instances come and go, the network stays. Your presence on the network is as ephemeral as you want it to be, sure (you totally can help a failing server with, for example, funding), but from the get go you are prepared that it will eventually disappear.
