If you look at the mastodon ecosystem there are a lot of small instances but these belong to a club/city/group of poeple and all allow registration. So should everyone of the users host their own instance and disallow registration? What to do about federation? Article 13 makes all of the worse for alternatives because Google and Facebook will use either algorithms or people to filter this and they have the manpower to pull that off but all of these federated spare-time / volunteer projects are now even greater risks than before for the individuals running them.
