Yes, it is indeed a good idea to spread out Mastodon over many servers to minimize intentional targeted disruption. And I keep reading this is the creator's intent.

So, it begs the question, why has mastodon.social, the instance created by the creator of Mastodon, reopened general registration when it already has over 167K active users? Why does the instance run by the Mastodon creator not support its own philosophy? Why is it trying to become even more of a centralized behemouth, contrary to its own intentions and making Mastodon, in the process, a bigger target?

Am I missing something?
