$2000 a month? Not sure what kind of workload you’re thinking of. You can run an instance with several thousand users with pretty minimal hardware.
Decentralization is a matter of structure. There is no central “federation” that you speak of that can blacklist you. Getting defederated from an instance isn’t a collective descision, it’s up to the individual server owners to decide.
And the odds that you work hard to build a server up and then find yourself defenderated by all major instances is incredibly small. Normally indicates that the server is actually a pretty toxic.

Naw. You can pick up a modern server with 24+ cores, a few hundred GB of RAM and several TB of storage for for half that or less.
VPS are more expensive, but still not that expensive. Maybe for some of the big player garbage like Azure, but not smaller players like Linode.
Does Lemmy.World have a hedgefund?
Are you just on here to low key spam your own instance/site?

It is. The organization doesn’t control which instances federate or defederate from others.
Simply put, one person deciding to defederate doesn’t mean anyone else has decided to defederate from you.
