Interoperable identity providers would indeed be useful.
Beyond that, maybe resilience when a project's host disappears, changes its policies, or gets blocked by a government?

Usenet and Matrix are notable examples.
The text side of Usenet is healthier, with a few gigabytes per day, and not trying to retain every message forever. Would it work if it was also the world's git forge though?
You seem to be referring to a particular set of binary-focused servers. I am referring to the protocol and network design, as an example of a federated system offering resilience.
(Also, I think your numbers are wrong, but I won't quibble about those because it's the network that's relevant to this thread, not the way some people happen to be using it today.)
> Matrix isn't.
It is. Blocking or shutting down any node in the network only affects that node. Others carry on without it. Another example of a federated system offering resilience.
