I think something we need to think with the Fediverse is backups.

I see people moving from one instance to the other because one is closing, but they can also move because one had a technical issue.

In any case, I think it could be nice for everyone to have backups of its federated data and to be able to move between instances without having to worry about data.

Do you know about a service which would backup your Mastodon and other federated accounts daily?

Some people may criticize the Fediverse for its instances maintained by amateurs and for which you have no guarantee about having a constant service or to protect the data.

If we could have a good backup service, it would then mitigate possible issues with loss of data.

Also, it would be nice to allow people to buy their own domain name and link it to other instances when needed. Then people could change their instance without losing their address/identity.
