This is another reason federated networks tend to centralize over time.
Reliability is a selection pressure. Fitter nodes attract more connections just by virtue of staying alive. Eventually this results in centralized hubs. This is the Fitness Model of scale-free networks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitness_model_(network_theory)

Make fun if you like but it shows that #federation doesn't have what it takes to #decentralise power and operate with consent of individuals.
We're still beholden to server owners.
It's the same problem that opt-in consent laws have begun to push back against, and it matters here even more where the whole point of #fedi is supposed to be preventing those kinds of abuse.
This is why I say the #fediverse is a lifeboat and #p2p will be the shore.
