“Hey why don’t we just copy a website that has 800k daily visitors?”
How many daily users on twitter or reddit?
We have viable alternatives for those, PeerTube for (opt in) distributed fedi-hosting large media files as well. I don't see what technical or scalability reasons there are against a band camp replacement.
Don't you understand? Only a for-profit, privately held (or even better, publicly traded!) company can save us!
It seems you're being sarcastic, but there's some truth to it. The fediverse, to me, isn't primarily about saving "us". It's about people saving themselves. If everybody saves themselves, "we" are saved.
