The point of federation is that there are thousands of instances that no monied asshole can just buy and ruin for everyone. If you like that, Reddit,twitter,FB,tiktok are just there...or just join one instance and pretend it is the only one. What is the problem exactly?
I remember, it was fun. And it's actually important in the age of silomania. Heh, the internet's not dead yet, turns out.
It's ok, by ruined I mean it will be just like reddit 😉 nothing will have been lost, considering.

Yes, this is the solution. Each user needs to know a certain critical number of other users in person who they can trust (and trust that they won't lie about bots, like u/spez) in order for there to be a mesh of trust where you can verify if any user is human in a max of 6 hops.
tl;dr: if you have no real-life friends...it's all bots :P
Thermodynamics says this is not the answer.
I still think you're giving him way too much credit. Either way, he ain't getting out of this without looking like an idiot who is way over his head and should stick to what he is good at: hype and marketing.
If that is true, that is not something to look forward to. It means that ... oh ok this is c/singularity, carry on, lol
I heard he's going to make a big announcement...but given his history, it may actually have to do with some artifacts he wants to find down there :)
Thanks, I have another question: what kind of web hosting tier do you need in order to have the functionality needed to host an instance? I was fiddling with infinityfree and found that there are all sorts of minor functionality you need beyond just a catchy name in a domain that won't have a bad reputation to host an instance. I mean, besides electricity costs, labour and some old hardware you have lying around to use as a server, how much is that hosting expected to cost?
How are fediverse admins currently funding their instances?

Wait, what? Have you ever heard of longtermism? "Your stupid peasants' suffering today matters little if we can take humanity to space^TM^. Don't hold back progress." If this is not enslaving humanity and shitting on the poor, I don't know what is.
