   Single user instances:
   - expensive
   - unreliable
   - hard to maintain
   - offload technical complexity on users

   Cooperatively owned instances:
   - the more users it has, the cheaper it gets
   - pooling funds allows to purchase better hosting
   - several admins can handle tech problems
   - cooperative members who don't have a tech background can enjoy the experience without the headaches

     @GustavinoBevilacqua @antanicus IRC started as a federated network of independent servers... ended up splitting into many separate networks of centrally administered servers.

     Let's hope history does not repeat in the Fediverse...

     The most difficult thing is to find the breakeven point between cooperation and centralization.
