The choosing host part is exactly why I want to emphasize that nothing has changed in regards to hosting.
Just like before someone needs to host the "message board" and that someone needs to be relied upon.
I often see posts on fediverse related subreddits of people who are dismayed because their instance admin did something. They expect every instance to be a "Mastodon instance" and follow some sort of rules.
People need to be reminded of the internet that was. Before Facebook and Twitter started to run it for them.
