Embrace the fragmentation.

The economic situation seems to be getting worse, there's tons of people without jobs that could get lots of exposure and experience working in tech related field by moderating all these small federated instances.

Plenty of networking opportunities as well.

There are going to be a lot more niche and diverse internet communities, and with things being spread out among the various instances it'll be a lot harder for trolls to summon concentrated attacks.

Communities will be smaller and higher quality while still being able to co-mingle via federation.

Unfortunately that stuff may also apply to more nefarious communities online and they may benefit by hiding amongst all of the other federated instances.
