I’m here because it’s eventually going to be the better alternative.
FOSS by its nature, will keep on improving. And proprietary bloatware, by its nature, will only gonna get worse.

You are in your house, I am in mine. But we can still watch movies together through your window.
What I am not understanding is the concept of logging in another server. I created an account on feddit.it, can I use this account to login in a mastodon website? Or does it work the other way around, with me just using the feddit.it website (like I’m doing right now) to consume content from other instances? With the second option, if feddit.it goes down, my account is done, right?
Your account credentials are the keys to your house, you can only enter to your own house (server/instance) with your keys, but can watch through everyone’s window (the owner of your house can block some specific windows tho).
So your second assessment is correct, and yeah I think if the server goes down your data in that instance may be lost. It shouldn’t pass long time before some migration account feature (mastodon already has one).
That’s what I think happens but I’d like to know too
