    That seems to add a single point of failure for some key functionality. And who owns that server? Can they be bought out by Meta pretending to be a good citizen?

      I wouldn’t call that functionally “key” - in fact we’re doing okay without it now. It would be an easy way to add some nice to have functionally without a lot of overhead.
