mhh im very much in favor of smol instances, like less than 10 people. but hierarchies can also mean inclusion and social security. if the responsiblity at the top is taken seriously. like admins or a goverment which actually cares about their people, poor or healthy or young or old.
that said afaik p's idea of revolver was an alternative fediverse without servers, every account being an instance. no idea whats the current state of the project though
