Avoid dependence on app stores so if an app is removed from Play Store it doesn't matter as much.

Increase privacy - closed groups.

It needs to be possible to move an instance to another domain if an old one is blocked/revoked.

You can not solve all issues of (authoritarian) society with pure technology. State actors have more funding for the hunt and development of new technology for (targeted) surpression. At a certain point instance admins of social networks can not hide.
