@jaz @fediversereport @laurenshof the point of a federation protocol is that independent entities can run independent servers. It's not incidental; it's designed in.
Before ActivityPub, I had built StatusNet. Christine and Jessica worked on MediaGoblin. Erin had made a client for pumpio. It is risible to say that we were unaware of installable servers.

@jaz @fediversereport @laurenshof regardless, the question was about network resilience. cosocial.ca stayed up when mastodon.social went down, not because we're an independent cooperative in a remote country, with bylaws and a privacy statement, but because our server doesn't depend on mastodon.social to run.
