Whenever any single instance grows big enough it will get compromised in the exact same way "big tech" has. They will pressure smaller instances into falling in line or else they will have no reach.
What you are saying is basically to "hope the problem goes away on its own" which it never will. You need to get to the root of the issue of why things get compromised in the first place, and that's something you can't run away from forever.
Encouraging federation and for people to create their own instances isn’t just “hoping the problem will go away on its own” If this theoretical “big instance” scenario happens then people will simply move to other instances, and they still federate with each other so they’ll have just as much reach as the big one. Also I’d very much like you to elaborate of why exactly things get “compromised”
