    a bunch of centralized platforms?

    This is what decentralized means. If your home instance goes to shit, you can just move your account to another one.

      But you can’t really? If I remember correctly you still lose all the posts, followers and pretty much everything that you would expect to keep.

      Technically you keep your account but let’s be honest, you don’t in the sense people want.

      Maybe my knowledge is dated but that is what I recall about moving accounts.
