A balancing act for sure. I’m torn on the topic. With some much excitement right now but so little history there’s a lot of uncertainty where to “plant your flag”. Part of me wants to setup my own instance simply so I maintain control of my identity should .world suddenly disappear. On the other hand now I have the responsibility of making sure I don’t make myself disappear. The mental debate will continue.

Yea but if you host with a major cloud server provider you're basically having 100% uptime because they very very rarely go down and so the only issues would be stuff you'd have to deal with.
