If the communities you like to read and post to are down, then Fediverse is effectively down for you. Thus it doesn't offer any additional resilience, it's not a P2P system.

    Stuff like technology has multiple big communities, I can go to the one on .ml .world or beehaw and still get a lot of content

    I haven’t learnt all about account federation - through who are you authored to write a comment here with a .ml account? Where are you logged in from?

    Just because anti-lock brakes fail to work in all scenarios doesn't mean they're not still an improvement.

    Lemmy is still up for most people. That is resilience. If you are affected by this outage, then it failed for you in this particular case but that doesn't mean the mechanisms don't exist and that they won't work to your advantage in the future.

    True but if you have several interests, hopefully spread over several instances, then there is resilience because if one server crashes, you have at least some other things trucking along.
