Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    I just embrace impermanence. Fediverse is not much other than some other person’s server, and if the instance owner decides he doesn’t want to host his instance anymore, you’re just gonna have to cut your losses and move somewhere else. It’s not as if the entirety of Lemmy is gonna stop existing at once.

    The real threat to Lemmy’s existence is the maintenance of the software. If that stops, there are 2 options, either someone forks it, or the medium slowly dies out as no one feels like hosting outdated software anymore.

    In that case (which, might I add, is unlikely to happen), you’re gonna have to cut your losses, and move to a different type of social media

      I’m less concerned with instances going away, although that would be annoying if it happened frequently. I’m most concerned with performance. When you have to rely on a web of different hosts to be all fully working at the same time for the experience to be smooth there are going to be more problems inevitably.
