@aral i've had thoughts about reworking the old concept of relays into a sort of overlay network -- joinmastodon could essentially work like an irc network in having servers that users connect to round-robin, but discovery could be handled at the central gateway service. that way if the central service goes down, you can still use your server, you just get a less complete view of trends and it becomes slightly harder to find profiles. then it should matter less where you sign up.
