Instances might go away, but not the Fediverse itself. See IRC, email and so on.

  But that’s like saying Gmail can go away but email itself lives on. Technically true but the Gmail users are gonna be pissed.

    Still a step forward. Right now Reddit is like facebook messenger, doesn't interact with anything. If it goes away, it's 100% gone. If your phone carrier disappears, you might have to change your number but you could still text anyone in your phonebook.

    At least when an instance is gone, their contents are still exist in the federated instances. The problem is those contents are now detached from the fediverse at large. Would be nice if there is a way to mark one of the federated instance as the new home for those contents to restart federation again.
