    How is mastodon not just a bunch of centralized platforms?

    Sure the servers communicate with each other but the content is still just on one of them. Goes the server, so goes the content.

    Or am I mistaking?

    If it is like I say I feel it is more trading Hitler in for, potentially, a bunch of smaller Hitlers.

      This is what decentralized means. If your home instance goes to shit, you can just move your account to another one.
