I wonder if because of decentralization the fediverse apps like Lemmy are insulated from going more than two more bullet points further past the “you are here”
That is the hope… Lemmy and other Fediverse servers will still have challenges ahead of it in the future, including combatting botspam, targeted attacks to force servers offline (through DDoS, threats of lawsuit, etc.).
I’m no expert but I’ll go through it.
DDoS can be mitigated, but it’s a scaling issue. Usually it’s a problem for medium sized services.
Lawsuits will fall mostly on individual server owners. And even then, the links are being hosted elsewhere.
Botspam is a huge issue. I expect that to be one main problem. And also monetization. That will also be a big problem.
