1. Use distributed, federated services like Lemmy, mastodon etc.
  2. Support the hosts with our own funds.
  3. Moderate our own communities.

    When there’s an instance that doesn’t want to play well with others, it’s up to others to take action.

    Generally, I agree, but sometimes it’s going to happen. See also the great IRC split, and countless other networks prior that mostly no longer exist.
