Why do the instances keep going down? It makes me think that this is not a reliable social network, but the alternatives are not as good.

You're thinking about it the wrong way. Despite a major hub of lemmy being down if you have an account on another instance you can continue using the network nearly as though nothing had happened. Individual instances may have greater or lesser reliability but the social network is very robust.

You’re thinking about it the wrong way.

I've had to go through a major change in thinking and adjust my interpretation in major ways.
