It was anything but typical.

I believe the first case was Robert Palmer in 1979. There are recordings of him pleading with a doctor for any news for his bad case. It seemed like there was no pills to cure him either.

Even though I appreciate this post, I don’t think I will comment.

Honestly that’s probably the best sort of solution. A group that has some minimum standards of moderation and maintenance/upgrade management plan and just evenly distribute the load as people arrive.

Then as a second phase make it easy to transfer, that way at the point the user gets comfortable they can easily swap to a better* “home” for those that care, for those that don’t, make the server choice be virtually invisible.

As long as the fediverse has a barrier to entry for most people of mandating choosing a server first, it will never become the mainstream choice.
